MWSS-471 Marines participated in Crash Damaged or Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) training at Volk Field Air National Guard Base, Wisconsin, honing the specialized skills required to recover damaged aircraft in austere environments. Throughout the evolution, Marines executed both vertical and horizontal de-bogging operations, using coordinated rigging, crane operations, and recovery procedures to safely free and reposition aircraft.

CDDAR training develops the technical expertise, teamwork, and precision required to rapidly return aircraft to service or prepare them for transport—ensuring aviation assets remain ready to support the mission whenever and wherever called upon.
