Airmen pack their bags for mock deployment
An Airman from the 354th Fighter Wing loads his bag onto a vehicle Feb. 11, 2009 at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The vehicle will be going to the Joint Mobility Center where Airmen will make last minute preparations for a mock deployment. The process Airmen undergo at the JMC is nearly identical to that as if they were actually deploying. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Airman 1st Class Willard E. Grande II)
