Airmen from an Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron remove outdated arresting tape from a BAK-12 aircraft arresting system within the Central Command area of responsibility, Nov. 21, 2023. During engagement with the aircraft, the tape unwinds from the reel, creating a rotational force and building hydraulic pressure that slows the aircraft, bringing it to a stop thus protecting the pilot and the aircraft.
