U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jonathan Turcios, 31st Maintenance Squadron Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory logistics noncommissioned officer in charge, works on an F-16 Fighting Falcon external fuel tank during an External Fuel Tank Build-Up Exercise at Aviano Air Base, Italy, Aug. 12, 2026. During the exercise, Mission Ready Airmen from several Air Force specialty codes learned to assemble external fuel tanks for F-16 Fighting Falcons. Broadening this skill across the maintenance workforce enables Aircraft Fuel Systems Airmen to support forward operations while the 31st Fighter Wing maintains combat capability during contingencies.
