A loadmaster assigned to the 1st Special Operations Squadron attaches a winch to a mock M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System ammo pod to load into an MC-130J Commando II at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Jan. 10, 2023. The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force and 1st SOS collaborated to develop and test improved methods to resupply HIMARS located in austere locations.
