John Loftis and Mickey Ruehs, both members of the Air Force Technical Applications' contingency operations team, review checklists at AFTAC's alternate facility in Texas. The duo was part of a group of Airmen who deployed to the center's 24/7 alternate location to transfer AFTAC's nuclear treaty monitoring mission from Patrick AFB, Fla., as the base prepared to evacuate for Hurricane Matthew that barreled up Florida's east coast Oct. 7, 2016.
