U.S. Airmen assigned to the 354th Munitions Squadron talk during a munitions barge at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Sept. 18, 2021. While this barge was smaller than past barges, it gave an excellent opportunity to allow newer Airmen to take on roles that would normally be reserved for more experienced personnel. This allowed Airmen to become familiar with a barge operation without the high-paced tempo of a larger barge. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Aaron Larue Guerrisky)
