The running challenge was one event in the Warrior Health and Fitness Center's New Year's Eve bash Dec. 31. Below, Master Sgt. Lois Mosely, an augmentee of the 75th FSS (center), reads trivia questions to two participants of the WHFC New Year's Eve bash held Dec. 31. Trivia questions tested people's knowledge of topics on health, nutrition, fitness and sports. For each question answered correctly, the participant was able to enter his or her name in a drawing for prizes. BASH more at sunset and flew all night. Sure, we provided firepower, but more importantly somebody to provide airborne on-scene command," he said. "There were a lot of airplanes (both Army and Air Force) dedicated to this effort and a lot of people involved and not all of them could talk to each other. Our guys spent a lot of time overhead assigning tasks, sorting out who was doing what and providing information to the ground commanders involved. "That's the day we flew the most sorties, we had eight jets airborne at one point, with two on alert and flew 100 hours in a 24-hour period," he added. "We flew some long sorties and our maintainers never slowed down." Their abilities were first tested shortly after deploying, however, when a resupply convoy was ambushed up in the north July 29, 2009. The ground forces were hit with an ambush, and they took a lot of effective fire with several casualties. "Somebody needed to just show up and take charge of the airborne piece, which is what our guys did," Millen said. "Two good, young captains went out and sorted it out and went out employing on enemy positions as they were firing down at our U.S. convoy. "They protected the convoy t and the 129th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron proceeded to continue to get guys evacuated out of there with their helicop- , ters," he said. "That went on for several hours. We launched two more A-lOs to do that, and \ again, guys pushing sorties out; that weren't on the schedule, just taking airplanes out the door and fixing them and getting them going." During the operation, one of the helicopters took enough small-arms fire to cause a hardlanding one-quarter mile from ' the ambush site. The 354th EFS Airmen launched another four airplanes to protect the convoy as casualties were transferred to another aircraft, and all the ground forces were safely cleared out "That was a good day because they did protect that convoy until they could get the situation settled down and get everybody safely out of there and headed back down to Kandahar," he said. Utah Grizzlies Hill AFB Family Nights From page 1 desired, or they could have chosen to participate in only one of their favorite event.

Prizes for the big drawings included Powder Mountain ski resort tickets, 1-hour massages, 1-hour personal training sessions, free juice bar smoothie coupons, movie tick- ets, a racquetball racquet and goggles, basketball, soccer ball, dumbbells and an iron gym set. "We had about 11 events with winners," said Katherine Purser, 75th Force Support Squadron trainer and one of the organizers of the bash.
