 from body armor to life rafts, food rations to flares. The mission of the 6th Operation Support Squadrons Aircrew Flight Equipment Team is to ensure that all essential and life-saving equipment is present and ready for use each time McDale's aircrews step into a KC-135 Stratotanker. So the base mission is obviously deterrence. We help with that by the equipment that we put on the aircrafts. If it wasn't for the equipment that's out there the aircrew members wouldn't be able to fly. McDale's AFV airmen function as a lifeline to aircrews by maintaining items such as flight helmets, oxygen masks, survival equipment, rafts, harnesses and more. Each day AFV airmen step up to the challenge to ensure the safety of McDale's aircrews. If their mask doesn't work, if their life raft doesn't work, if their body armor has flaws in it or their survival vests or missing items that could be detrimental to their survival in a situation. We are the insurance policy that we hope they don't have to cash in on, but if they do we are strong in our ideals and our experience that our equipment is going to work and they're going to come back home. Through constant training and exercising McDale's AFV airmen do their part so crews can fly with confidence as they deliver unmatched air refueling support across the globe.
