Spc. Jerry Rhoades, left, from Petaluma, Calif., and Sgt. Aaron Moya
from El Paso, Texas, both armament and electrician repairmen for AH-64A
Apache helicopters, remove a maintenance apparatus from the front of
the helicopter. They are in the 3rd Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment,
101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). Helicopter repairmen in
Afghanistan, such as these two, were hailed as "mechanical heroes" by a
U.S. Army general, for their super work in rapidly getting the Apaches
ready to go into the battles of Operation Anaconda. Photo by Spc.
