Recently, the Marines tested their new forward base refueling system with the CH-53K.

The two together provide new capabilities for forward refueling points or for expeditionary basing.

According to the Marines:

Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron 371, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, employ a tactical aviation ground refueling system (TAGRS) while conducting expeditionary advanced base operations in support of a CH-53K King Stallion training evolution at a forward arming refueling point at Yuma Proving Grounds Range, Ariz., July 15, 2020.
