BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan (AFPN) --  Approximately 30 local Afghan reporters visited Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, May 29 to participate in a media day.

The media day was aimed at informing the media on the operations at Bagram and how the U.S. military is working alongside coalition partners to support and defend freedom in Afghanistan.

The media spent most of the day receiving briefings from Bagram units about how those units' missions come together for the big picture of how the military and its partners work together.

After their briefings, the media arrived on the flightline to view static displays of an F-15E Strike Eagle, A-10 Thunderbolt II and a C-130 Hercules.

As the media gathered to leave, they expressed their thanks and appreciation for the opportunity to get up close and personal with personnel and the aircraft that support and defend the freedom of their nation.
