Peikert, originally from Darien, Wisc., a landing support specialist with Helicopter Support Team, Landing Support Detachment, Headquarters and Support Company, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), ensures chains and straps are properly secured during an HST mission aboard Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, March 29.
