Staff Sgt. James Larose marshals a U.S. Air Force C-5B Galaxy to a
parking spot on the ramp at Prince Sultan Air Base at Al Kharj, Saudi
Arabia, on August 7, 1996. The Galaxy is bringing in engineers,
equipment and supplies to construct a tent city to house U.S. personnel
conducting Operation Southern Watch. Nearly 4,000 personnel,
aircraft, and equipment are being moved from bases in Dhahran and
Riyadh to the remote desert air base to reduce their vulnerability to
terrorist attack. Southern Watch is the U.S. and coalition
enforcement of the no-fly-zone over Southern Iraq. Larose is
