Senior Airman Kenny Jenkins, an electrical power production journeyman assigned to the 380th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron’s barrier maintenance team, Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, shows the size of a stake used to secure the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System kits on the runway used by U.S. forces here. The mobile aircraft arresting system is a 19,500-pound mechanical barrier capable of rapidly decelerating a landing aircraft using a cable situated across the runway capable of safely catching an aircraft weighing as much as 80,000 pounds, calculated by weight and speed.
