Air Force Reservist CMSgt. Kenneth Thompson has received a Bronze Star medal for his service over one year at a Joint Interrogation and Debriefing Center in Iraq. Thompson, who is the first sergeant with Air Force Reserve Command’s 512th Equipment Maintenance Squadron at Dover AFB, Del., served as the NCO in charge of operations, supervising a multi-service team of 90 percent Army and 10 percent Air Force members.
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.
