WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio - (left) A Heli-Basket(r) is suspended beneath an HH-60 rescue helicopter. The Air Force Research Laboratory's Human Effectiveness Directorate provided guidance on flight tests and did data analysis for evaluating the basket's safety as a human rescue tool. The Heli-Basket would enable rescuers to quickly extract up to 15 people trapped in areas unsuitable for helicopter landings. Originally a cargo carrier, it was adapted and tested to meet a Homeland Defense requirement for short-range human rescue in disaster situations. (Precision Lift, Inc. courtesy photo)

Operation Iraqi Freedom
BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Staff Sgt. Wayne Schenk watches over local Iraqi workers here as they unload bags of concrete from a truck. Third-country nationals and local nationals make up a large percentage of the workforce used for construction projects and day-to-day jobs around the base. An escort's job is to monitor workers and provide security. For many escorts, the job requires long days in the scorching sun with weapon in hand and a careful eye watching for suspicious activities. Sergeant Schenk is assigned to the 332nd Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron and is deployed from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Chad Chisholm)
