Maintenance team members construct a framework of aluminum planking to be used as a revetment on an airfield during Operation Desert Storm. When the hollow structure is filled with sand for stabilization, it protects aircraft from strafing, shell fragments and other such threats.

Maintenance team members push sections of aluminum planking into place as they construct revetments on an airfield during Operation Desert Storm. Sand is later shoveled into the planking's hollow framwork to stabilize the barriers, which protect aircraft from strafing, shell fragments and other such threats.
