    Ring of fire: Airmen secure largest, hottest runway in Iraq

    U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Benjamin Kahler deployed to the 532nd Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron security forces flight, native of Vale, N.C., provides security for a group of airmen as they lay concertina wire around the runway May 27, 2011, at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq. The immense size of the controlled movement area, or runway landing area, is 13,000 feet in length—large enough to land the space shuttle. With the largest CMA under their care, an ambitious program is required to maintain secure operations.
