Gearing for Defense
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Senior Airman Lamon Irvin, 374th Logistical Readiness Squadron Individual Protective Equipment technician, looks over a service member’s training gear during an equipment check and upgrade Feb. 19, 2013, at Yokota Air Base, Japan. The IPE shop ensured all Yokota members had complete sets of gear, so training on base will be as realistic as possible and to fully prepare service members for real-world contingencies.
