Summary
A U.S. Navy mineman, from Navy Munitions Command Unit Charleston, and U.S. Air Force technicians, from the 5th Munitions Squadron, rotate an inert MK-62 Quick Strike Mine to secure a MK-15 tail fin during a mine build at Royal Air Force Fairford, England, June 10, 2015. The mines were built for a BALTOPS 15 exercise where B-52H Stratofortresses tested their ability to precisely drop munitions into a target zone off the coast of Sweden. BALTOPS provides an opportunity for personnel from different services and nations to engage in realistic maritime training to build experience and teamwork and strengthen interoperability.
