Air Force Senior Airman Blake Justen, 86th Munitions Squadron, conventional munitions technician, demonstrates how to clear chaff at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, June 24, 2021. Chaff is a radar countermeasure used by aircraft that consist of aluminum coated fiberglass which must be disposed of separately from the chaff as required by German law. Airmen from the 86th MUNS have been using a makeshift constructed from a wire hanger and are partnering with the Operational Planning Team and 86th Maintenance Squadron to find a more efficient way to clear chaffs.
