MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan - U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Laren Kenison, a powerline mechanic with Marine Attack Squadron (VMFA) 121, checks the exterior of an F-35B Lightning II while wearing Mission Oriented Protective Posture gear level four during a hot refuel training exercise at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Nov. 15, 2017. The exercise trains Marines to keep aircraft in the fight while working inside a simulated hazardous environment, and it enables Marines to refine their standard operating procedures while familiarizing them to operate in gear they aren’t used to.
