Fully armed
Enduring heavy dust and winds, Master Sgt. Steven Anderson directs Senior Airman Christopher Kieffer into position to place a container full of M-16's onto a trailer during a base-wide arming exercise June 14 at Ali Air Base, Iraq. Both are members of the 407th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron. Ali AB Airmen participated in the exercise to help fine-tune weapons distributing procedures in case of a real-world threat to the base. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Robert W. Valenca)
