Airmen recognized for thwarting adversary attack

Three U.S. Air Force Airmen with the 497th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group were recently presented with achievement medals at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, for providing timely and critical information that saved the lives of 100 personnel. Senior Airmen Benjamin, Sean and Carlos, along with their team of fellow analysts, provided a detailed intelligence assessment that showed 50 enemy fighters planning an attack on a U.S. Central Command Forward Operating Base that housed both U.S. personnel and local forces.
