Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) 372 conducted Forward Arming and Refuel Point operations in support of Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course 2-18 in Yuma, Ariz., March 31.
FARP operations assist in mission accomplishment by providing a safe refueling and reloading location without forcing pilots to return to their home station.
“A FARP allows pilots to land close to or in their operating area,” said Lance Cpl. Daniel Anaya, A MWSS-372 bulk fuel specialist. “They can get a hot refuel or a hot load then immediately get back into the fight. This saves the pilots time and increases combat effectiveness.”
Overall, a FARP allows pilots to work closely with ground troops and practice landing as well as loading in an austere environment.
