    Tech. Sgt. Paul Hammer, 353rd Special Operations Group forward area refueling point member, runs a fuel line to a MC-130P Combat Shadow March 17. The FARP members defueled the MC-130P and fueled four fuel bladders for a total of 36,000 pounds of JP-8 fuel. FARPs allow aircraft to operate at further distances by allowing the aircraft to stop and refuel where typically no fuel exists. The FARP team is capable of providing fuel to remote and austere locations. The fuels at Yamagata Airport will be used for American forces search and recovery teams during Japans earthquake and tsunami relief.
