A FARP is designed to refuel an aircraft at a distance closer to their area of operations than their main operating base. Exercise Forager 21 is a U.S. Army Pacific exercise designed to test and refine the Theater Army’s ability to flow landpower focus into the theater, execute command and control of those forces, and effectively employ them in support of our allies, partners, and national security objectives in the region.
