No matter if you help govern a state, when the Air Force calls you go. Air Force Reserve officer Brian Dubie, who also happens to be the lieutenant governor of Vermont, has been deployed to Iraq for about two weeks as a member of a field assessment team, according to a statement from his office. It is not the first time the Vermont official has been called to active duty, but the Burlington Free Press reports it’s his first time in Iraq.
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.
