Team erects B-2 shelters at deployed location
Twenty members of the 49th Materiel Maintenance Squadron here spent more than 70 days at a deployed location working 12-hour shifts to erect portable shelters for B-2 Spirit bombers. Probably Diego Garcia, right? Moving the B-2s to forward locations will significantly shorten combat missions, which have been as long as 44 hours from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo. The Axis of Evil lives far from Mo... "We hand-picked a team with a core of troops who had experience in B-2 shelter construction during the test and evaluation phase. Their experience along with a lot of ingenuity and hard work paid off as they finished the two shelters about three weeks ahead of the original schedule despite a number of modifications required in the field." ...but it's probably a lot closer to the 'deployed location' Posted by: JAB 2003-01-10 |
