Airmen from the 352nd Special Operations Aircraft Maintenance Squadron perform maintenance on a frost covered MC-130J Commando II assigned to the 352nd Special Operations Wing, Jan. 21, 2016, on RAF Mildenhall, England. These maintenance crews support the aircraft's operational mission by performing everything from periodic inspections to avionics and hydraulic repair.

Maintenance crews work around the clock, regardless of the weather changes, to keep the MC-130J mission ready at a moment’s notice. Detailed turnover, containing aircraft and job status, is always given prior to the following shift beginning work in order to adequately support ongoing maintenance.
