Sgt. Caleb Bailey, an AV-8B Harrier mechanic for Marine Attack Squadron 231, Marine Aircraft Group 40, Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan, refuels one of the squadron's Harriers at the flight line on Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan, after the aircraft landed during combat operations. This pit stop took just a few minutes to complete, which is roughly a quarter of the amount of time it would have taken the aircraft to fly back to its home base, refuel and return.
