SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Airman 1st Class Stuart Brennan from the 380th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron checks his gauges while he uses a "dead man" to refuel a KC-10 Extender here. This is a device that the fuels Airmen use to ensure there is a constant flow maintained during refueling. Airman Brennan has to grip the "dead man" and release it within 90 seconds continually throughout the refueling process. The average fuel transfer rate is 600 gallons per minute. Airman Brennan is deployed from the 20th LRS, Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., his hometown is Westerly, R.I. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Christopher A. Campbell) (released)
