U.S. Air Force Capt. Clark Morgan, center, contingency engineer flight commander with the 36th Contingency Response Group, Joint Task Force-505 and Reno, Nevada native; Canadian Maj. Simon Comtois, right, a construction engineer with the Disaster Assistance Response Team; and Kumar Shresthna, a Nepalese civil engineer with the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal discuss the process to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of the soil at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, Nepal, May 8, 2015. The team tested the soil using a dynamic cone penetrometer to determine its stability following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The pavement evaluation tested to see if there were any significant changes to the soil beneath the runway since the earthquake. Any changes could restrict weight limitations to incoming flights in order to prevent any runway damage. The Nepalese government requested the U.S. Government assistance after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the country April 25, 2015. JTF-505 is working in conjunction with USAID and the international community to assist Nepal. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by MCIPAC Combat Camera Staff Sgt. Jeffrey D. Anderson/Released)
