SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C.-- Airmen from the 20th Maintenance Group launch F-16s even while hampered by wearing full biological and chemical protective suits during an operational readiness exercise, March 17, 2009. While cumbersome, the suits provide protection against biological and chemical environments. This ORE is crucial to Shaw's preparation for an upcoming operational readiness inspection in June.
