B-roll footage captures the boot chandelier at 386th Air Expeditionary Wing within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, Feb. 7, 2026. The chandelier, constructed from combat boots left behind by departing service members, represents a long-standing tradition symbolizing the completion of a deployment and the shared experiences of those who served. As units redeploy, Soldiers and Airmen toss their boots onto the structure as a personal mark of their time in theater. (U.S. Air Force video by Tech. Sgt. Drew Schumann)
