An F-35B Lightning II with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 542 taxis on the runway during a forward arming and refueling point exercise at Camp Davis South on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, April 10, 2025. Following its $28 million overhaul, Davis Airfield South can now accommodate every airframe in the Marine Corps arsenal while providing a multi-domain combined arms complex for operational forces to conduct Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations training. The extensive runway can even accommodate the landing of KC-130J aircraft to deliver heavy combat equipment in support of distributed operations.  (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Alyssa J.
