Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa

Senior Airman Alex Patino, 8th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron (8 EAMS), and Tech. Sqt. Brian Snow, 8 EAMS, attach rolling stock to a bobcat Sept. 12, 2008. Locking down the hitch on the bobcat is necessary to prevent the rolling stock from coming loose while it is being moved from the 60K loader. The rolling stock was off loaded onto the 60k loader from a C-17 and the items will be used here at this undisclosed location in Southwest Asia or put onto other aircraft for movement onward into the theater of operations. Airman Patino is a native of Del Rio, Texas, and is deployed here from Yokota Air Base, Japan, and Sergeant Snow hails from Jensen, Utah, and is deployed here from Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa.
