Faces of Operation Tomodachi
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Ryan Johnson, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician with the 35th Civil Engineer Squadron from Misawa AB, and a Shoemakersville, Pa.-native, uncovers a Bomb Dummy Unit – 50 practice munition at Draughon Bombing Range April 8 after the tsunami swept through the area wiping out the targets and spreading munitions across the beach. Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams uncover the munitions and blow them up with C-4 explosives to prepare for clean up crew to come through and remove the remaining fragments. This is part of the Misawa AB recovery effort in support of Operation Tomodachi.
