U.S. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, refuel aircraft assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 (Rein.), 31st MEU, during a forward arming and refueling point exercise at Glen Airfield, Queensland, Australia, July 7, 2025. A FARP is a multi-discipline operation that increases the speed of maneuver for aerial operations, utilizing expeditionary advanced base operations, enhancing strike capabilities by decreasing the distance required for refueling and rearming while increasing the range of combined-joint all domain operation capabilities. The 31st MEU is operating aboard the ships of the USS America Amphibious Ready Group in the 7th Fleet area of operations, the U.S. Navy’s largest forward deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
