FARP: Night Owls of USSOCOM

Staff Sgt. Michael Dunning, the manager for the forward area refueling point program with the 1st Special Operations Logistics Readiness Squadron, pulls a squeegee to manually force fuel remaining in a hose back into an MC-130H Combat Talon II aircraft as part of a class demonstration at Hurlburt Field, Fla., Jan. 10, 2017. A squeegee, a metal tool with two rolling pin like devices, is used to push residual fuel back into an aircraft to save space and reduce risk of leaks or spillage. The FARP program is a United States Special Operations Command initiative that trains petroleum, oils and lubrication Airmen to perform covert, nighttime refueling operations in deployed locations where fueling stations are not accessible or when air-to-air refueling is not possible.
