Hodge Echeverria, a natural resources program manager at Mountain Home Air Force Base, and Lt. Col. Karl Haagsma, a medical entomologist with the 757th Airlift Squadron, wait for a C-130H Hercules aircraft assigned to the 757th AS to fly over during an aerial spray mission on Sept. 23, 2020, at Saylor Creek Training Range, Idaho. As a means of fire prevention, Reserve Citizen Airmen from Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, traveled to Mountain Home AFB to conduct aerial spray operations to combat the growth of cheatgrass, an invasive winter annual. During wildfires, cheatgrass acts as an enabler, causing the fire to spread quickly to other vegetation such as sagebrush. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Christina Russo)
