Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa

Staff Sgt. Josh Kreutzer and Staff Sgt. Justin Sharp, both assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, tighten nuts on a mega lug Sept. 15, 2008. The mega lug is being prepared as a temporary valve to close off the end of a broken water pipe in order to restore water to the Blatchford-Preston Complex at an undisclosed air base in Southwest Asia. The overnight water main break resulted in a loss of water for the entire complex. The engineers are hard at work bringing operations back to normal. Sergeant Kreutzer, a native of Fontana, Calif., is deployed from McChord Air Force Base, Wash., Sgt. Sharp, originally from Ulysses, Pa., is deployed from Scott AFB, Ill. Both are here in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Michael Boquette/Released)
