MSgt. Joseph Jarboe III, an explosive ordnance disposal technician, has received a Bronze Star for his work while deployed to Baghdad Airport in Iraq last year. Jarboe, with the 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron, Barksdale AFB, La., led his EOD team and Army security elements on numerous missions hunting for unexploded ordnance and improvised explosive devices. He supervised the neutralization and disposal of more than 35,000 pounds of enemy explosives and 130 IEDs.
With the first operational T-7A trainer jet in hand, Air Force leaders are already looking ahead to how the Red Hawk will fit with the service’s plans for sixth-generation aircraft.
