U.S. Marines and Master Labor Contractors with the Logistics Department Fuels Division observe the Aircraft Direct Fueling System (ADFS) during the first hot refuel utilizing the new system at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Oct. 19, 2017. The ADFS allows the aircraft to rotate crew, take on cargo or Marines and keep its engines running while accepting fuel. This training marked the first refueling evolution at the new hot refueling pit designed to distribute fuel to Type-4 aircraft such as the KC-130J Hercules, MV-22 Osprey and MH-60 helicopter.

U.S. Army Sgt. Arthur W. Hinkle, a flight engineer with Joint Task Force - Leeward Islands, watches from the back of a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter as the aircraft departs from the port of Roseau, Dominica, Oct. 3, 2017. The aircraft delivered rice and kitchen sets from the U.S. Agency of International Development for delivery to the community of Wotten Waven, Dominica. At the request of USAID, JTF-LI has deployed aircraft and service members to assist in delivering relief supplies to Dominica in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. The task force is a U.S. military unit composed of Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen, and represents U.S. Southern Command’s primary response to the hurricanes that have affected the eastern Caribbean.
