U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Gabriel Castro, 380th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, flexes after verifying that the Mode 5 Identification Friend or Foe antenna is working properly. His fellow wingmen cheer him on as they all prepare to launch the EC-130H Compass Call at Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, June 29, 2021. Members currently supporting the Compass Call mission at ADAB are deployed as a hard crew from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, Ariz., meaning they work the same schedule for the duration of their deployment, which promotes morale and camaraderie, and maximizes team efficiency.
