    Three military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are conducting a cable or conduit installation operation outdoors near a chain-link fence. Two individuals wearing yellow hard hats are handling and feeding a black cable or conduit from a large coiled spool, while a third person wearing a white hard hat labeled 'BERTRAND' operates a blue pneumatic or hydraulic blowing/jetting machine. The operation appears to be a fiber optic or utility cable installation using a cable-blowing device.

    Cable and antenna systems specialists of the 212th Engineering Installation Squadron run fiber optic cable on July 29, 2021. The fiber is run through underground conduit with the aid of a technology fairly new to the Air Force. The commercially available equipment uses pressurized air to feed communications cable hundreds and thousands of feet, increasing the efficiency and productivity of these Airmen, while simutaneously improving communications capabilities on the installation.
