High five

 

 


Staff Sgt. Patrick Donohoe, 177th Fighter Wing Security Forces, New Jersey Air National Guard, gives a family member a high five. The all volunteer group was assigned to the Quick Reaction Force – a mobile response team designed to respond to all points on base and outside wire.  In addition to performing unexploded ordnance sweeps after rocket and mortar attacks, they performed base security sweeps, casualty evacuations, protection for Civil Engineers and other personnel on missions outside the base perimeter and protection for visiting American and Iraqi dignitaries.  The 13-member Security Forces team returned from a six-month deployment to Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraq on March 13.  Photo by Tech. Sgt. Mark Olsen, 177FW/PA.
