Pacific Marines conducts its first ever F-35B flights to support advanced base operations on narrow, shortened runways at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma, California. Tactics that utilize short field landing and takeoffs ensure that the Marine Corps is able to operate in any location, even those that have been damaged from combat or regions that simply do not possess the infrastructure to build and maintain traditional airfields. Marines with 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing continue to make strides in training to ensure they remain part of the most lethal naval force in the world, able to operate in any place, even locations that have been degraded by adversaries in an attempt to deny U.S. forces access. #Lethality #FightTonight
