Ammo Keeps Fighters Supplied
Air Force Print News | SSgt. Travis Edwards | January 23, 2008

BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq - Airmen can fly, fight and win in any wartime situation, but being able to do that is only possible if pilots are properly equipped with the right munitions for their target.

Ensuring there is no shortage of munitions for combat aircraft are the Airmen here in the 332nd Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron Munitions Flight, more commonly referred to as Ammo.

"This is the best job in the Air Force," said Master Sgt. David Jamison, the 332nd EMXS conventional maintenance noncommissioned officer in charge. "We build bombs for the warfighters, so they can go out and drop them on those who are trying to prevent us from doing our job."

That job is creating a free and stable country for the men and women of Iraq.

The Ammo flight assembles five different configurations of precision-guided bombs, as well as maintaining flares for the Air Force and other coalition forces, Sergeant Jamison said.
