Getting airfield back up and running

The 455th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron plow the fighter ramp at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan Feb. 4, 2017. The 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadrons and ECES de-iced aircraft and cleared snow from the runway so the F-16 Fighting Falcons of the 79th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron could continue their missions - flying multiple sorties daily to support the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing’s mission to defend, support and deliver airpower.
