A U.S. Soldier assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) pours fuel into a glass beaker to test fuel quality and inspect for sediment, ensuring the fuel meets strict safety standards for a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter during a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) exercise at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Aug. 5, 2026. The multidisciplinary training evolution validated the logisticians' ability to rapidly pool resources, establish an expeditionary FARP and conduct sling load operations in direct support of aviation assets and Special Operations Forces to bridge critical capability gaps and extend the operational reach of 3rd SFG(A).
