Vigilant Shield

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Leo Oliphant, assigned to the 46th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (AMXS) as a crew chief, gives the signal to an F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot to hold breaks prior to a training flight in support of Exercise Vigilant Shield 12 at Naval Air Station Key West, Fla., Nov. 6, 2011. The exercise in Key West is the "first-ever proof of concept" for the military's Joint Deployable Integrated Air and Missile Defense System, a collection of high-end radars and missile systems as well as aircraft that work in tandem in the event of a threat to the continental United States. The 46th AMXS is from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kamaile O. Long/Released)
