U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Lee Thrope, 968th Expeditionary Airborne Air Control Squadron E-3/B Sentry senior surveillance technician, coordinates data links with aircraft over Afghanistan during a combat sortie supporting coalition forces during the Afghan Presidential Elections, April 5, 2014. Refueled in-air twice, the aircrew marked the 968th EAACS’s 4,000th combat sortie since March 2007 when the squadron began flying Operation Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn and Enduring Freedom missions. E-3 Sentry Airmen present broad and detailed live battlespace information to coalition forces and command and control centers. Sentry aircrews detect, identify and track airborne and ground coalition and enemy forces. Thrope, a Circleville, Ohio native, is deployed from the 963rd Airborne Air Control Squadron, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. (U.S. Air Force photo Illustration by Tech. Sgt. Jason Robertson/Released)
