The Air Force has awarded a Bronze Star Medal to SSgt. Adam Ginett, an explosive ordnance disposal team leader at Shaw AFB, S.C., for his actions while deployed to Afghanistan. SrA. Holly MacDonald reports that Ginett led 64 combat operations and destroyed munitions and improvised explosive devices with a net explosive weight of some 24,000 pounds.
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.
