Maj. Parker Mullins, the public health distance learning branch chief at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and Staff Sgt. Henry Kincaid, the pest management NCOIC at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, learn how map preparation is conducted during the Department of War’s annual Aerial Application Pest Control Course at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, May 5, 2026. Facilitated by medical entomologists, the week-long course provides pest management participants from across the DOW the opportunity to earn their Category 11 Applicator Certification and knowledge for achieving the maximum kill of the target pest with minimal impact on the environment, which is the ultimate goal of pest aerial spray.
