Members of the 174th Attack Wing Munitions Flight train

Members of the 174th Attack Wing Munitions Flight train on loading procedures on March 7, 2015, at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base. The munition load crew must be certified quarterly on transporting, loading and wiring munitions onto the MQ-9 Reaper that precisely hit specific targets. The MQ-9 Reaper is an armed, multi-mission, medium-altitude, long-endurance remotely piloted aircraft that is employed primarily for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). Military intelligence is a military discipline that collects information and analysis to provide guidance and direction to commanders in support of their decisions. Military Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior, activities, or other changing information that is of interest to national security. Military Reconnaissance is exploring beyond the area occupied by friendly forces to gain vital information about natural features and enemy presence in a given area for later analysis and dissemination.
