  • Lt. Col. Craig Andrle, 79th Fighter Squadron commander, taxis a F-16 Fighting Falcon on the Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., flightline after returning from a deployment May 4, 2017. Andrle’s unit recently returned from Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan where they provided close air support to U.S. Special Operations and Afghan National Army commandos in Afghanistan’s Nangahar province.

    Finding a way to win

    It was a temperate day at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan when Lt. Col. Craig Andrle and his wingman, Capt. Adam Fuhrmann, began walking across the flightline to their soon-to-be airborne F-16CM Fighting Falcons.
  • U.S. Air Force Capt. James Dunham, an intensive care ward nurse at Craig Joint Theater Hospital, checks the vitals of a patient at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, May 3, 2017. As a nurse, Dunham is the link between the patient and doctor. They are responsible for ensuring medicine is administered, pain is managed and attending to the patient in any way they can. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin Gonsier)

    Care under fire: Nurses provide medical, emotional support for those in need

    A doctor’s office can induce feelings of uncertainty and anguish, but those emotions quickly fade away when a warmhearted nurse greets you. Whether the nurse is checking your pulse or taking blood, their hospitality quickly puts patients at ease. In a deployed environment, where stress levels are through the roof, hospitality can mean everything to a patient who is recovering from a gunshot wound or was caught in a roadside bomb blast.
  • Staff Sgt. Kyle Poston, 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, oversees engine maintenance on an EC-130 Compass Call Jan. 18, 2017 at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. To date, 41st EECS crews have flown over 39,000 hours during 6,800 combat sorties in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and now the Resolute Support Mission. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Katherine Spessa)

    EC-130s maintain constant presence in Afghanistan 15 years later

    All around the dimly-lit tent are enduring symbols of a constant presence. A name scrawled across a wooden wall, a lengthy list of deployment dates written underneath, updated year after year. A library stacked with books and games to pass the time. A built-in couch labeled “Snooze Town.”
  • An F-16 Fighting Falcon is caught by the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System during a test of its operational functionality March 20, 2015 at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. The MAAS was from a separate taxiway as part of the construction of an alternate runway at Bagram. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. James Law/released)

    Second runway increases Bagram capability

    After months of planning and construction, the wing expanded its ability to support flying missions throughout the region with the addition of a second operational runway. The ancillary runway provides an alternate site for aircraft taking off and landing should the primary runway be damaged or closed.
  • Tech. Sgt. Patrick Williams (left) and Senior Airman Brandon Graves attach GBU-38 bombs to a hoist that will be used with a munitions assembly conveyer to move the bombs during transport Aug. 14, 2014, at Bagram Airfield in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Both men are currently assigned to the 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron and both are reservists deployed from the 442nd Fighter Wing, Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Cohen A. Young)

    'Total Force' Airmen keep ammo rolling for vital OEF missions

    Airmen assigned to the 455th Maintenance Squadron aren't just practicing total force integration during an exercise or at home, they are performing it for real in a combat zone and they are doing it as the U.S. Air Force gets smaller. They're proof that TFI works in the real world doing the real mission in a combat zone.
  • Master Sgt. Doyle Easterling and Senior Master Sgt. Paul Jordan share a light moment together at the end of a sucessful F-16 engine test run at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Jan. 20, 2014. Both are deployed out of Carswell Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth, Texas to Bagram, and will be retiring this year after a combined 78 years of military service. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Master Sgt. Gary J. Rihn)

    Two deployed friends combine 78 years of AF service

    Two Airmen with the 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, have both been turning wrenches on jet engines longer than most people in the Air Force have been alive.
  • Senior Airman Matthew Rice receives a phone call from Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, Dec. 31, 2013 at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. The secretary called to wish deployed Airmen a happy new year and let them know the Air Force leadership team was thinking about them and their families. Rice is a native of Altus, Okla. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ariel Hunsuckle)

    Bagram Airmen get call from AF top leader to ring in new year

    Four 455th Air Expeditionary Wing Airmen received New Year's Eve phone calls from the Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James. The secretary wished them a happy new year and wanted to let the Airmen know the Air Force leadership team was thinking of all the deployed Airmen and their families during the holidays.
  • Capt. Dimple Nolly, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing deputy staff judge advocate, deployed from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, and a Houston native, works in her office at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Oct. 29, 2013.

    Legal officer's commitment to service gives back to U.S.

    The United States gave Capt. Dimple Nolly's parents a chance to provide a better life for their family once they immigrated from India to America. "Although my parents faced adversity, they remained focused on their goal, which ultimately inspired me to always pursue the best, do my best and push for the best," the Houston native said. "I joined the Air Force so I could give back to the greatest nation on Earth that has provided so much for my family and asked for nothing in return."
