Senior Airman Christian Vasser, 8th Maintenance Squadron line delivery augmentee, and Senior Airman Travis Shields, 80th Aircraft Maintenance Unit line delivery crew chief, secure chaff and flares at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Aug. 16, 2020. Chaff is used as a self-defense mechanism by distracting radar-guided missiles with tiny aluminum fibers, while flares are a countermeasure to adversaries’ infrared surface-to-air or air-to-air missiles.
