Staff Sgt. George Mitchell, fuels craftsman assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron, uses his glove to tighten and clean an area of a fuel pipeline that had a small leak. The inspection is part of a regularly scheduled security and leak check of the line from bulk storage to operating storage, Nov. 14, at an undisclosed air base in Southwest Asia. "Running the line" is a preventative procedure that keeps the fuel flowing to "fuel the fight." Approximately one million gallons of fuel are moved each day through the 379 ELRS fuels section, keeping aircraft flying in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. Sergeant Mitchell, a native of Lady Lake, Fla., is deployed from Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. (U.S. Air Force Base photo by Tech. Sgt. Michael Boquette/Released)
