The Air
Force is contributing airmen and airlifters for continued operations in the Dominican Republic following Tropical Storm Noel. An earlier force of airmen and soldiers from Joint Task Force-Bravo, Soto Cano AB, Honduras, deployed to Dominican Republic to assist search and rescue efforts. Now, another 13 have gone in to provide medical assistance, reports SSgt. Austin May. The JTF-Bravo team is using the opportunity to conduct a Medical Readiness and Training Exercise.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
