AIR FORCE PHOTOS

Staff Sgt. Edgar Perez and other aerial porters team up with Marines to strap a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle into a C-17 Globemaster III Aug. 25 at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq. The new MRAP Category III Buffalo models, which cost between $600,000 and $1 million each, will phase out the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, also known as Humvees. MRAPs have bottoms raised more than 3 feet off the ground to increase servicemembers' mobility and enhance mission success throughout the areas of responsibility. Sergeant Perez is an aerial transportation specialist with 438th Aerial Port Flight deployed from Pope Air Force Base, N.C. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Olufemi A. Owolabi)
