Airmen assigned to the 386th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron observe contractors building an addition to the flightline at Ali Al Salem, Kuwait, Sept. 4, 2019. The force protection flight provides a security buffer between other country nationals such as contractors, their employees and the general base population. Airmen assist and escort OCNs during their duty day, help minimize potential data collection, and ensure the departure of vehicles and personnel once their services are completed for the day.
