UAVs aid force protection efforts

Airman 1st Class Melvin Silva (left) and Senior Airman Glenn Gerald perform a pre-flight inspection on an RQ-11 Raven before a January mission at Kirkuk Air Base, Iraq. Despite weighing in at less than 5 pounds, this unmanned aerial vehicle plays a vital role in securing the base and surrounding neighborhoods. Airmen Silva and Gerald are 506th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron Raven operators. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Master Sgt. Don Senger)
