Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa
Staff Sgt. Aubrey Pabon, a bioenvironmental engineering technician assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Medical Group, straps on her air tank as the last step before completely sealing her bio suit, Dec. 17, at an undisclosed air base in Southwest Asia. Suiting up in full bio suits to assess a chemical spill was one of the areas tested during a major accident response exercise. The MARE also tested security forces, medical and fire department responses. Sergeant Pabon is deployed from Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
