9/13/2012 - The 5th Aircraft Maintenance Weapons Section is responsible for ensuring the reliability and safe handling of all explosive devices or countermeasures loaded on the B-52H Stratofortress. They aggressively troubleshoot, isolate and repair weapon system malfunctions and ensure aircraft system availability. Each four-man load team is certified to load both conventional and nuclear payloads in support of AFGSCs primary mission. Without these airmen, it may still be possible to fly and fight, but these guys make it possible to win. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Carmen Washington)
