51st Fighter Wing activated alternate landing surface (ALS) protocols during a week long training event at Osan Air Base. The ALS serves as a back-up air strip allowing aircraft to take off and land in the event of the main runway sustaining heavy damage. In order for the ALS to be stood up, 51st CES set up mobile aircraft arresting systems (MAAS) to ensure the aircraft can be recovered in the event of an emergency. The MAAS reduces the chances of a crash by reducing the time and space required for an aircraft to make a full landing in the event of a damaged flightline.
