Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Senior Airman Tyrone Fisher (left), Senior Airman Lacye Branch (right), and Tech. Sgt. Steve Gaunt (center), 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, talk about a package and some of the unique writing on it, Camp Stryker, Iraq, April 24. All mail that comes into Baghdad that is improperly labeled, doesn't have a return address or gets lost in the system has to be inspected before they can be processed and get it to the intended destination. The Iraqi government returns the mail to the Joint Military Mail Terminal on good faith but the military here has to take necessary precautions because the mail left the military postal system. When the JMMT gets the mail back from the Iraqi government it is ran through x-ray, inspected by military working dogs and then inspected by the 447th ECES emergency management flight for suspicious and/or hazardous materials which might have inadvertently come in contact with or intentionally added to the mail. The Airmen, armed with chemical suits and hazardous material sensors make their way downrange in teams of three, where the mail is stored and run test on the packages for radiological, chemical and biological material. Airman Fisher is deployed from the 181st Intelligence Wing, Indiana Air National Guard, is a native of Indianapolis. Airman Branch is deployed from Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., a native of Greenville, Va. Sgt. Gaunt is deployed from 117th Air Refueling Wing Alabama Air National Guard, is a native of Marietta, Ga.
