Awards on base

The 4th Equipment Maintenance Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base has won an award for being the best equipment maintenance squadron in the Air Force.

The squadron provides ammunition, bomb racks and ground equipment for the 4th Fighter Wing aircraft and ensures that the F-15E Strike Eagles are ready to fly.

The squadron deployed personnel to Southwest Asia during Operation Iraqi Freedom, helping with 3,263 combat sorties that logged 12,987 combat hours.

The squadron will go on to compete at the Department of Defense level for the Phoenix Award.
