 Today we exercised a tenet of expeditionary advanced basing operations at Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field, Bogue. It was the first time that we brought the F-35 Bravo into Bogue field and we brought in a KC-130J to provide aviation-delivered ground refueling and rearming capability through VMFAT-501's Ordnance Marines. To load an F-35 takes anywhere between 10 and 15 minutes and they can fuel simultaneously and the amount of fuel that they need from us is dependent on how far the target is away from us and their fuel state when they arrive. The Ordnance for any evolution is tailored to the threat. The F-35 can load Ordnance internally or externally and they can carry various types of munitions that are dependent on what type of target that they plan to prosecute. We look to do this inside of the enemy's missile targeting sequence so that we can bring in aircraft, load them, fuel them and get them back into the fight before we ourselves become a target.
