Lance Cpl. Joel T. Farthing, an expeditionary airfield specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 272, and Cpl. Michael J. Devlin, an aircraft rescue and firefighting Marine with MWSS-272, work together to pull a steel rod holding together two pieces of aluminum matting from an inactive flight line on Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, March 29. Once the aluminum matting is removed a permanent runway will be constructed in its place. The Marines of MWSS-272 will move more than 3 million square feet of matting over the next several months as they complete the job. MWSS-272 is deployed out of Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C. in support of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward).
