8th Fighter Wing

Maintainers from the 80th Fighter Generation Squadron (FGS) performed a post-attack reconnaissance (PAR) sweep in search of potential chemical contamination or simulated unexploded ordnance (UXO) that could pose a threat to the Wolf Pack’s fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons. During their sweep, 80th FGS members located a simulated UXO, cordoned the area, and ultimately ensured the area was all clear.
