BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Airman 1st Class Michael Claypoole assembles a GBU-38 500-pound Joint Direct Attack Munition. The new munition is designed to reduce collateral damage, limit unintended casualties and take the fight up close and personal to enemy insurgents and anti-Iraqi forces alike. Airman Claypoole is a munitions systems journeyman with the 332nd Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron here. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. David Reagan)
