Staff Sgt. Jon Mirro, also from the 34th AMU, awaits signals before moving forward the tow vehicle and connecting. The tow vehicle will be used to back the B-1 into a parking space on the ramp at this undisclosed air base in Southwest Asia. The B-1 is called upon daily to support ground forces engaged in both Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. It carries the largest payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory and is the backbone of America's long-range bomber force. It can rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against any adversary, anywhere in the world, at any time.
