U.S. Army Pfc. Iron Atkinson, left, and Spc. Christian Wallace-Walton, right, avionic system repairers assigned to 1-229th attack battalion, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, load a training hellfire missile onto the AH-60 “Apache” while at the forward arming refueling point during an air gunnery exercise at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, Oct. 6, 2025. The purpose of a Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) is to provide a mobile, temporary facility closer to the battlefield where aircraft, typically helicopters, can refuel and re-arm their weapons, thereby increasing their operational reach and combat effectiveness by eliminating the need to return to a main operating point for fuel and ammunition.
