Air National Guard airmen in Indiana joined their foot-pounding brethren to support recovery operations in the wake of the tornado that tore through southern Indiana. Air Guardsmen from the 181st Fighter Wing, Terre Haute, Ind., are helping with search and recovery efforts. Other personnel are serving in the Joint Operations Center and state Emergency Management Agency in Indianapolis, according to the Indiana National Guard.
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.
