Taking cover
Two Airmen try to find cover after being caught in the open during a mortar attack March 28. With Airmen not knowing if the attack was a chemical attack or conventional mortars, everyone put on all their chemical protection gear until the “all clear” sounded. The 72nd Air Base Wing and the 552nd Air Control Wing teamed up for the first time as the 624th Air Expeditionary Wing to take part in War Wagon 06-03, an Operational Readiness Exercise designed to test both wings processes in a joint simulated deployed environment.
