Airmen supply munitions, ensure mission success

Airman First Class Taylor Bauman, 86th Munitions Squadron conventional maintenance crew member, packages a BBU-35 impulse cartridge on Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sep. 30, 2014. The BBU-35 impulse cartridges are used to initiate the counter measures loaded onto C-130s. Countermeasures help divert enemy attacks on aircraft. After everything is marked and logged into a computer, it takes about two and a half hours with three to four Airmen to build one load of 420 countermeasures, which supports one C-130, additionally it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to load chaff and flares onto a C-130 if the load crew is ready.
