Marines and Sailors fill a crater with the assistance

Marines and Sailors fill a crater with the assistance of a backhoe loader during a base repair after attack training (BRAAT) event at Marine Corps Outlying Field Oak Grove, North Carolina, Nov. 4, 2020. Marine Wing Support Squadron 271 (MWSS-271) partnered with Seabees with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 1 to conduct a BRAAT in order to maintain readiness by demonstrating the ability to rapidly restore an airfield to operational capability following a simulated attack. Forston is an expeditionary airfield and emergency services officer and Wolfe is a technical engineer - both are assigned to MWSS-271. MWSS-271 is a subordinate unit of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, which is the aviation combat element of II Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Elias Pimentel)
