Sgt. Veronica L. Ortega, an aviation ordnance technician with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, checks rockets being loaded onto AH-1W Cobra at a new forward arming refueling point at Combat Outpost Ouellette in Afghanistan's Helmand province, April 17. "We were reloading an aircraft that was going back out into the fight," said Ortega, a native of Stratford, Texas. The forward arming refueling point was recently constructed at the combat outpost to enable 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) to better support Marines and other coalition troops operating near Sangin, Afghanistan.
