Sgt. Joshua Rookey, left, Marine Wing Support Squadron 371 expeditionary airfield technician, and Sgt. Julian Torres, MWSS-371 supply chief, drill a pad onto a newly formed expeditionary airfield at Laguna Army Air Field in Arizona, during a predeployment training exercise, March 24, 2011. Fourteen MWSS-371 Marines practiced setting pads down while wearing full mission oriented protective posture gear to simulate a deployment scenario. The pads allow aircraft to land with minimal foreign object debris, making it easier to land and refuel. The Sandsharks' predeployment training also overlapped with exercise Crown Joule 3, a Marine Aircraft Group 13 training cycle that helps pilots gain experience for the squadron's deployment to Afghanistan in fall.
