    Chief Petty Officer Jacob A. Hicks, chief aviation boatswain’s mate fuels with the Surface Warfare Officer’s School Command and a native of Indianapolis, Ind., calls for the rotation of lead hose operator during training with the Mobile Aircraft Firefighting Training Device at the base fire station here, June 14. The Marines of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, who participated in the training did not have firefighting occupations, but due to their work around aircraft, they are required to be first responders in the event an aircraft catches fire. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and is the Marine Corps’ force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region.
