Combat Hammer
HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Tech. Sgt. Shawn Mullins, a weapons load crew chief, signals his weapons load driver to raise a joint direct attack munition into the bomb bay of an F/A-22 Raptor here. The bomb load, on Oct. 18, was part of exercise Combat Hammer. The Raptors are from the 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley, Air Force Base, Va. The unit deployed here Oct. 15 with a twofold goal: complete a deployment and to generate a combat-effective sortie rate away while deployed. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Samuel Rogers)
