Civilian Expeditionary Workforce

Bob Perry and Capt. Christian Thompson assess the damage done to a high voltage electrical line while deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in July 2007. The line, which leads to a children's hospital, was damaged by an improvised explosive device. Earlier this year, Air Force senior leaders outlined their vision for supporting Department of Defense civilians to serve in global expeditionary positions through a program called the Civilian Expeditionary Workforce.
