Caption:
An A-10 "Thunderbolt II" from the 25th Fighter Squadron, returns
from a successful sortie over the Korean Peninsula. It will be
regenerated for it's second mission of the day, during exercise Beverly
Midnight 99-2. Despite Osan personnel having to be in
Mission-Oriented Protective Posture 2 thru 4, requiring them to wear
various combinations of specialized clothing, flak vest, tactical gear,
chemical warfare ground crew ensemble, and carry/or wear the gloves and
MCU-2P mask, they are clearly able toperform all tasks for extended
period of time. Taken on 31 March 1999, during Contingency
Employment Readiness Exercise (CERE), Beverly Midnight 99-2 at Osan Air
Base, Republic of Korea. A CERE is used by Osan Team members to
validate their entire ability to "Fly, Fight, and Win," during a
wartime contingency on the Korean Peninsula, despite activities in
other regions of the world. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
