Operation Iraqi Freedom

BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Staff Sgt. Wayne Schenk watches over local Iraqi workers here as they unload bags of concrete from a truck. Third-country nationals and local nationals make up a large percentage of the workforce used for construction projects and day-to-day jobs around the base. An escort's job is to monitor workers and provide security. For many escorts, the job requires long days in the scorching sun with weapon in hand and a careful eye watching for suspicious activities. Sergeant Schenk is assigned to the 332nd Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron and is deployed from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Chad Chisholm)
