Staff Sgt. Aaron Ridenour (left), 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron conventional maintenance crew chief, and Airman 1st Class Andrew Finch, 379th EMXS conventional maintenance crew member, guide a munition into position in preparation for the installation of a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kit Oct. 12, 2011, at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. The JDAM is a guidance tail kit that converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, adverse weather "smart" munitions. With the addition of a new tail section that contains an inertial navigational system and a global positioning system guidance control unit, JDAM improves the accuracy of unguided, general purpose bombs in any weather condition. JDAM is a joint U.S. Air Force and Department of Navy program. Ridenour, a native of Battle Creek, Mich., and Finch, a native of Fresno, Calif., are deployed from Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D.
