A safety pin is inserted in an AIM-9X missile loaded on an F-16C Fighting Falcon during an integrated combat turn within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, June 5, 2025. The safety pin prevents the firing pin from engaging until the munition is intended for use. Once refueling and rearming are complete during the ICT, the safety pins are removed before the aircraft takeoff for combat operations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Kevin Dunkleberger)
