Exercise Combat Hammer
A weapons loader from the 2nd Maintenance Operations Squadron counts the threads on a bolt of a heavy storage adapter beam under the wing of a B-52H Stratofortress on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Aug. 15. The bolts must be prepared prior to attaching munitions to the beam, so that once the bomb is lifted, it can be quickly secured. The munitions were being loaded onto a B-52 to be dropped at a bombing range in Utah for Exercise Combat Hammer. The exercise evaluates the employment of precision guided munitions to ensure the weapons are fully functional and mission capable. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Amber Ashcraft)(RELEASED)
