Members of the 459th ARW deploy
Members of the 459th Air Refueling Wing head out for a deployment April 27. Before boarding a KC-135R Stratotanker, which is also deploying, the servicemembers shake the hands and receive well wishes from their co-workers and supervisors. Approximately 20 percent of the 459th ARW deployed as units and individual augmentees this spring in support of operations in the Pacific and Southwest Asia (U.S. Air Force photo/ Staff Sgt.
