81st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron - Bagram A-10s surge for summer offensives

An A-10 Thunderbolt II from the 81st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron taxis to a de-arm area at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, following a combat sortie. The A-10’s 30-mm gun, a signature capability of the aircraft, delivers enormous firepower to support ground forces engaged against anti-coalition extremists. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. David Kurle)
