Arizona Army National Guard Sgt. Cynthia Hernandez, an aircraft structural repairer in Company B, 640th Aviation Support Battalion, 40th Combat Aviation Brigade, works on an AH-64 Apache helicopter at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, March 27. Hernandez, who resides in Tucson, Arizona, with her husband and five children, enjoys repairing the Apache more than any other air frame. "She's an attack helicopter, I like that," Hernandez said. "She's pretty mean out there." Woman warriors deploy with the 40th CAB 160327-Z-JK353-002
