    Airman 1st Class Jeremy Cole, 379th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, marshals an E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System that landed Oct. 20, 2016, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, following a mission supporting Operation Inherent Resolve. The JSTARS is an airborne battle management, command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform. Its primary mission is to provide theater ground and air commanders with ground surveillance to support attack operations and targeting that contributes to the delay, disruption and destruction of enemy forces.

    A U.S. Air Force ground crew member in an orange safety vest and military camouflage uniform stands on a tarmac, monitoring a large military aircraft taxiing nearby. The aircraft bears 'U.S. AIR FORCE' markings and appears to be a Boeing-type jet, likely a KC-135 or E-8 variant. The scene takes place on a military airfield under hazy, bright conditions.
    A U.S. Air Force aircraft is being marshaled on a flight line by ground crew personnel. A marshal in an orange safety vest and military camouflage uniform is directing the aircraft using orange marshaling wands. A second ground crew member is visible near the left main landing gear of the aircraft.
    Ground crew personnel are performing maintenance or pre-flight servicing on a large military or government aircraft on an airfield tarmac. The aircraft appears to be a Boeing E-8 Joint STARS or similar four-engine jet, viewed from the front. The setting appears to be a desert environment based on the arid landscape and lighting conditions.
    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated at a workstation inside what appears to be a military aircraft or command vehicle. Both are wearing communication headsets and operating equipment at a console that includes a monitor, keyboard, and various electronic systems. A small American flag patch is visible on the equipment panel to the upper left.
    Two maintenance personnel in military-style tan uniforms are inspecting or servicing the underside of a large turbofan jet engine mounted beneath an aircraft wing. One individual is lying on the tarmac while the other kneels beside them, both looking upward at the engine nacelle. The setting appears to be a military airfield in an arid environment.
    Four military personnel in U.S. Air Force camouflage uniforms are performing maintenance work on the underside of a large military aircraft on a desert airfield tarmac. Three individuals are crouched or kneeling beneath the aircraft's engine nacelle/wing area, with one reaching upward using a tool, while a fourth person stands nearby observing and supervising. The arid, hazy environment and desert terrain visible in the background suggest a Middle Eastern or similarly hot, dry operating location.
    A military aircraft maintainer kneels on a flight line tarmac between two large jet engines, wearing hearing protection and connected to the aircraft via a communication cord. The scene appears to be at a forward operating base or military airfield, likely in an arid region based on the hazy, dusty atmosphere. In the background, a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and a white support vehicle are visible on the ramp.
    Military ground crew personnel are conducting pre-flight or post-flight servicing operations on a large reconnaissance or surveillance aircraft on a desert airfield tarmac. Several airmen in camouflage uniforms are handling a large flexible duct hose connected to a ground support equipment unit, likely for engine starting or pneumatic servicing. The environment and hazy sky suggest a hot, arid location consistent with Middle Eastern operations.
    Three U.S. Air Force ground crew personnel are conducting pre-flight or post-flight maintenance checks on a military reconnaissance aircraft, identified by the partial tail number '4846' and a U.S. Air Force command shield insignia. The aircraft features a distinctive large black radome nose cone characteristic of intelligence-gathering platforms such as the RC-135. The scene takes place on a sun-lit flight line, likely at a forward operating base.
    A military ground crew member wearing an orange high-visibility safety vest, camouflage pants, hearing protection headset, and gloves stands on an airfield tarmac facing a large military transport aircraft. The personnel appears to be monitoring or marshaling the aircraft during ground operations. Additional ground crew members are visible in the background near the aircraft's nose gear.
    A ground crew member wearing an orange high-visibility vest and ear protection stands facing a large military reconnaissance or patrol aircraft on a tarmac, likely at a desert airbase. The aircraft is white with a distinctive bulbous nose radome and red markings on the fuselage. The scene appears to depict a pre-flight or post-flight ground marshaling operation.
    A U.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, identifiable as an RC-135 variant, is captured during takeoff or landing on a desert airstrip. The aircraft bears USAF markings including a star-and-bar insignia, tail code 'OF', and partial serial number '846'. The arid, sandy environment and hazy sky suggest a Middle Eastern or desert Southwest location.
