U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Mark Kelly, assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Group, marshals a U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter, from the “Screamin' Indians” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 6, deployed with the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group, on the flight line of Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, on Nov. 8, 2020. As of Oct. 31, 2020, after rigorous training, Airmen deployed with the 379th MXG and 379th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron became qualified to run sustained 24-hour hot refueling operations on multiple aircraft that rotate through AUAB.
