Preparing to replace power lines
U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Alex Jordan, a 35th Civil Engineer Squadron electrical systems apprentice, hands Tomoaki Miura, a 35 CES electrical technician, a high-voltage porcelain insulator at Draughon Range near Misawa Air Base, Japan, July 15, 2020. Typically, high-voltage line replacement is a contracted project; however, the 35 CES electrical shop seized the opportunity for their Airmen to receive on-the-job training alongside their JASDF counterparts. Not only did U.S. and JASDF Airmen benefit from completing the project as a team but it also saved the Air Force 90,000 dollars. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Melanie A. Bulow-Gonterman)
