Staff Sgt. Chad Warner, 62nd Maintenance Squadron conventional maintenance production superintendent, unloads squibs or impulse cartridges, which provide a small propellant charge that ignite the flare stick, to build flares for the C-17 Globemaster III at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., March 14, 2017. A single C-17 flare system costs approximately $50,000 and are used as infrared countermeasures designed to defeat heat seeking surface-to-air missiles. (Air Force photo/ Staff Sgt. Naomi Shipley)
