Jalibah, Iraq (Mar. 25, 2003) -- Two CH-46's Sea Knights and a UH-60 Blackhawk land on a hardball road near the airstrip at Jalibah to take on additional fuel before continuing their mission northward.  The refueling point was carefully selected by the Forward Arming and Refueling Points (FARP) Commander to refuel this type of aircraft in a fast paced environment.  These helicopters will carry supplies and Marines in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Operation Iraqi Freedom is the multi-national coalition effort to liberate the Iraqi people, eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.  U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Giles M. Isham.  (RELEASED)
