Derek, left, aerospace propulsion craftsman, and Senior Airman Travis, surveillance and radar technician, help recover an E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control system aircraft as they place a cover over the engine at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia Feb. 24, 2015. AWACS provides situational awareness of friendly, neutral and hostile activity, command and control of an area of responsibility, battle management of theater forces, all-altitude and all-weather surveillance of the battle space, and early warning of enemy actions during joint, allied, and coalition operations. Derek is currently deployed from Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., and is a native of Waterboro, Maine. Travis is currently deployed from Tinker AFB, Okla., and is a native of Snohomish, Wash.
