U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Matthew Gardner, 163d Civil Engineer Squadron, California Air National Guard, listens to a crushed stone crate repair presentation during a weeklong Rapid Damage Repair course at March Air Reserve Base, Calif., May 21, 2026. Airmen learn to execute full-scale crater repair procedures, beginning with debris removal and upheaval marking before progressing through excavation, backfilling, compaction, and surface restoration. The RTS instructors measured both completion time and structural performance, conducting repair quality criteria testing to validate durability under projected aircraft loads.(U.S. Air National Guard Photograph by Senior Master Sgt.
