How it’s done: AMXS Communication and Navigation Airmen

Airman 1st Class Keith Steve, 374th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron C-130 communication and navigation journeyman, locks-in a fresh flare cartridge into the side of a C-130J Super Hercules during routine 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)
