Airmen 1st Class JT Mills, 17th Special Operations Squadron loadmaster, keeps in communication with the pilots and forward area refueling point members while defueling a MC-130P Combat Shadow at Yamagata Airport, Japan, March 17. The FARP members defueled the MC-130P and fueled four fuel bladders worth 36,000 pounds of JP-8 fuel. FARPs allow aircraft to operate at distances further from original airport that it took off by allowing the aircraft to stop and refuel where typically no fuel is at. The FARP team is capable of providing fuel to remote and austere locations. The fuel at Yamagata Airport will be used for American forces search and recovery teams during Japans earthquake and tsunami relief.
