00:02.075 --> 00:03.843
- [Ryan] Fairchild Air Force bases airmen

00:03.843 --> 00:06.332
gear up and out process in preparation

00:06.332 --> 00:08.650
for their deployment to Europe as part of

00:08.650 --> 00:10.733
Operation Juniper Micron.

00:10.934 --> 00:12.842
They're main focus is to aid France

00:12.842 --> 00:16.226
in their mission to combat
terrorism in Africa.

00:16.226 --> 00:18.411
- Overall, our primary mission is

00:18.411 --> 00:20.130
global reach, right, so we're gonna be

00:20.130 --> 00:23.676
deploying town to Spain and
then from there we'll be

00:23.676 --> 00:26.610
helping extend some of the flight time

00:26.610 --> 00:27.915
for some of those guys down there

00:27.915 --> 00:31.998
that are actually on scene
and doing the mission.

00:33.655 --> 00:34.630
- [Ryan] Whether near or far,

00:34.630 --> 00:36.250
Fairchild is more than willing

00:36.250 --> 00:38.173
to lend a hand in fighting terrorism.

00:38.173 --> 00:40.618
And what better way than
by keeping our allies

00:40.618 --> 00:43.201
in the air and mission capable.

00:43.346 --> 00:44.494
- I was an in flight refueler.

00:44.494 --> 00:47.327
Our job is to help other receivers

00:47.679 --> 00:49.596
or help other aircrafts

00:49.759 --> 00:51.951
make it to their next destination.

00:51.951 --> 00:53.782
Whether it's a long legs or short legs,

00:53.782 --> 00:56.187
like we supply fuel for the fighters

00:56.187 --> 00:58.539
to fight the fight and we also give gas

00:58.539 --> 01:01.260
to the big heavy receivers
for those long legs

01:01.260 --> 01:04.165
because they can't get
very far without gas.

01:04.165 --> 01:07.196
- [Ryan] When it comes to
making the impossible possible,

01:07.196 --> 01:11.084
the 92nd air refueling
wing goes the extra mile.

01:11.084 --> 01:15.417
Reporting from Fairchild
Air Force base, Washington,

01:16.962 --> 01:18.545
I'm A1C Ryan Gomez.
