Got fuel? There's an old saying that "the army runs on its stomach." Well, the Air Force runs on jet fuel and lots of it!

"We're a drop-in-and-fight Air Force," Col King said. "We don't fight from fixed facilities. The Cold War is over. We're an Expeditionary Air Force--we drop in from remote locations. It's important that we fully train and certify our maintainers to perform the many tasks required in these operations safely. Technical data must always be followed to ensure all warnings, cautions and notes are adhered to at all times. The potential for mishaps is ever present, so it's very important that all written procedures and operating instructions are followed. Safe and efficient operations are our goal, because the entire combat operation depends on us.
