A new airman 1st class writes a letter to her friends and family while “deployed” during the Operation Hero event Oct. 22 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. More than 100 kids participated in the mock deployment experience created to give military children a glimpse of what their loved ones go through when they leave home. The kids went through a deployment line to get their dog tags and “immunizations” before they were briefed by the commander and shipped off to a deployed location. There, they participated in various activities and demonstrations by local base agencies. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)

A gopher tortoise reaches out for its burrow as it is released into its new home deep within the base’s range Oct. 26. The first of approximately 250 tortoises were released into their 100-acre environment after being rescued from urban development at their previous home in South Florida. Increasing the gopher tortoise population here could prevent the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from listing the animal on the Threatened and Endangered Species list, allowing more flexibility for the military missions on Eglin.

Armament Directorate leadership assembled a team to produce a rapid fielding plan for the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II, a laser-guided rocket that turns existing Hydra 70 unguided rockets into precision-guided munitions through the addition of a laser guidance kit. The team successfully performed a final round of integration test shots with the A-10 and F-16 platforms over the Eglin Air Force Base range in July, overseeing seven aircraft missions with 14 successful A-10 and F-16 test shots. The team solicited the support of the Arizona Air National Guard Air Reserve Test Center to work with the 96th Test Wing community on these tests. (Courtesy Photo)

The information is also shared with local and state health authorities. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ilka Cole)
