How it’s done: AMXS Communication and Navigation Airmen

Airman 1st Class Alexis Smith, 374th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron C-130 communication and navigation journeyman, passes a cartridge of chaff rounds to A1C Keith Steve, 374th AMXS C-130 communication and navigation journeyman, during routine C-130J Super Hercules maintenance at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 9, 2022. Chaff and flare cartridges are considered live munitions and are treated carefully as such. AMXS Airmen conduct a thorough systems check to ensure that no electrical surges or signals exist to potentially cause a misfire during installation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ryan Lackey)
