The Air Force has awarded SrA. Sean Murphy, with the Air Force Office of Special Investigation at Ramstein AB, Germany, a Bronze Star for his work while deployed to Kirkuk AB, Iraq. He credited his team for their success in gathering information about insurgents for US Army operational planning. His team also helped plan and carry out the capture of an insurgent cell hiding near the 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.
