Senior Airman Anson Pryde, 506th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, pays close attention to his surroundings during a recent shift in one of Kirkuk's many guard towers. While typical perceptions associated with the Air Force in combat might involve aircraft dropping bombs on targets, the several hundred security forces Airmen deployed here are proving these stereotypes outdated. The Air Force’s main mission at Kirkuk is not to fly daily combat sorties, but to maintain the security of the base for the more than 5,000 personnel who operate out of here.
