Marine Wing Support Detachment 31 conducted an aircraft recovery convoy exercise during a Marine Corps Combat Readiness Evaluation aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Aug. 2. The exercise prepared the Marines for an aircraft mis- hap and ensured they were properly trained to recover personnel and equipment if called on. “We used our own vehicles to conduct the convoy and assisted with the recovery process,” said Staff Sgt. Joel Contreras, the motor transportation operations chief with MWSD-31. “There were multiple training evolutions that pertained to different parts of the convoy.” During the course of the exercise, MWSD-31 conducted convoy and sweeping operations by planning a route to the downed aircraft and back while simultaneously sweep- ing the area with combat mine detectors for explosive threats. Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Marines from Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron also aided in the training by salvaging the aircraft while also defuel- ing the fuselage of the simulated aircraft to prevent fires and fuel leaks. “I’m just one piece of the puzzle when we’re doing these kinds of events,” said Lance Cpl.
