Staff members contracted from the local area pose for a photo in front of the dining facility at Royal Air Force Fairford, England, June 14, 2015. RAF Fairford is considered a “warm” base maintained by the U.S. Air Force. With an approximately 10,000-foot runway and its proximity to Royal Air Force Welford, the base has a unique and versatile capability and is an ideal training area for large-scale exercises. The base was transformed from a “warm” status to an active status in support of the BALTOPS 15 and Saber Strike 15 training missions. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Malia Jenkins)
