Members of the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing, Life Support Area and Australian Defence Force Support Unit Two walk the flightline in search of foreign object debris at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia August 15. FOD on the flightline can be ingested and severely damage aircraft engines. Prizes were awarded to the finders of four "Golden Bolts" hidden on the flightline during the FOD walk.
