The Air Force has awarded a Bronze Star to Capt. Marco Tassone with the 78th Security Forces Squadron at Robins AFB, Ga., for his service in Afghanistan. The Macon Telegraph reports that Tassone served as plans and policies officer at the coalition detention facility at Bagram Air Base.
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.
