U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Christopher C. Mood Jr., 712th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron maintainer, waits to signal another maintainer during routine maintenance of a C-17 Globemaster III during the Liberty Eagle Readiness Exercise at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, July 15, 2022. Mood is one of many maintainers from the 512th and 436th airlift wings who demonstrated their ability to conduct aircraft maintenance while wearing mission oriented protective posture gear at a simulated forward operating base, located on Dover AFB, July 11-15, 2022. The purpose of this exercise was to validate both wings' ability to generate, employ and sustain airpower across the world in a contested and degraded operational environment.
