Rafael Cratch, 4th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron weapons crew chief, guide the weapon loading vehicle under the wing of an F-15E Strike Eagle on Base X, during an operational readiness exercise, Dec. 8, 2009. The weapons loading vehicle, or jammer, can raise, lower and rotate the munitions to load it onto the jet. During the week-long exercise, Airmen will test their ability to execute wartime taskings, generate combat sorties under simulated wartime conditions and provide combat airpower in the region.
