    Bill Pawlowski, Lockheed Martin senior field engineer, explains polyalphaolefin fluid servicing carts, which cool F-35 aircraft mission systems, Sept. 24, 2024, at Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island in Florida. The facility, located along the St. Johns River in northeast Florida, is the hub of Marine Corps’ prepositioning programs. With the transition to the F-35 offering advanced stealth and sensor capabilities in a long-range fighter platform, the aircraft’s ground support equipment is now a maritime prepositioning force asset—it must be strategically positioned with other combat-ready equipment and supplies. Technical subject-matter experts arrived at the facility in Florida for the induction. While contractors maintain the equipment, Marines must conduct in-process inspections, ensuring adherence to approved ground operations procedures. “We make sure everything we put into the ships is a quality product,” said Marine Corps Sgt. Mason Musmeci of Mandeville, Louisiana, ground support equipment quality assurance representative at Blount Island Command. (Official Marine Corps Photo/Dustin Senger)
