1
00:00:06,418 --> 00:00:07,262
- [Antonio Gonzalez] Airmen deployed

2
00:00:07,262 --> 00:00:10,586
to the 332d Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron

3
00:00:10,586 --> 00:00:12,713
are currently repairing a damaged airfield

4
00:00:12,713 --> 00:00:16,068
that has been vital during Operation Inherent Resolve.

5
00:00:16,068 --> 00:00:18,067
- This airfield has been used very heavily

6
00:00:18,067 --> 00:00:19,425
the last few years here,

7
00:00:19,425 --> 00:00:22,200
so we've been flying a lot of sorties,

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,734
giving ISIS a little bit of trouble,

9
00:00:23,734 --> 00:00:25,125
keeping them up at night,

10
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:29,292
and so we need this to be able to sustain this operation.

11
00:00:30,051 --> 00:00:33,701
The C17s, the C130s, the coalition partners,

12
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:34,896
the 15s and the 16s,

13
00:00:34,896 --> 00:00:37,287
they're flying hot and heavy out of this airfield,

14
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:39,151
and our other runway at this location

15
00:00:39,151 --> 00:00:41,066
is actually about to go under construction,

16
00:00:41,066 --> 00:00:42,772
so this one needs to be in great shape

17
00:00:42,772 --> 00:00:44,771
to handle that increased traffic.

18
00:00:44,771 --> 00:00:46,356
- [Antonio Gonzalez] Reporting from Southwest Asia,

19
00:00:46,356 --> 00:00:49,439
I am Staff Sergeant Antonio Gonzales.
