24th MEU conducts night operations at McEntire JNGB
U.S. Marine Cpl. Almadhi Mousa, left, an air support element operator, and Sgt. Dallas Romine, an air support radio operator, both assigned to a command and control element of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, provide updates of long-range raid operations during an exercise at a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) while conducting a ship-to-shore exercise at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, South Carolina, Dec. 11, 2020. FARP operations minimize fixed and tilt-rotor aircraft response time while decreasing their turnaround time during direct support of sustained operations. McEntire JNGB is home of the South Carolina Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing and routinely hosts multi-service small and large-scale exercises because of its desirable rural setting and ability to provide tailored training options to meet specialized training needs.
