How it’s done: AMXS Communication and Navigation Airmen

Airman 1st Class Keith Steve, 374th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron C-130 communication and navigation journeyman, conducts a voltage check on a chaff and flare cartridge hard point before installing fresh rounds 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 perform 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)
