Lights out. Game on! 🌙

Our Airmen hit the range after dark for weapons proficiency and night vision training. Why? Combat Camera captures imagery that supports commander decision making and preserves the history of operations, and that mission doesn’t stop at sunset. 🎯

Every generation protects what was built before them and prepares what comes next. That responsibility now belongs to us.

We defend the greatest nation in history, not because of what America has been, but because of what America can still become.

Airmen who choose competence, commitment, and a winning attitude over comfort will write the next chapter.

Happy Independence Day. Happy 250th, America. The best years are ahead!
