Airman 1st Class Jake Roxas, an engineering assistant

Airman 1st Class Jake Roxas, an engineering assistant assigned to the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron, sets up a global positioning device during a crash assessment exercise June 5, 2019 at North Auxiliary Airfield, S.C. The exercise provided participants the opportunity to practice on-seen protocols and to coordinate with other Airmen from Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. to completely map out debris in a simulated aircraft mishap. Air Force engineering assistants have the role of plotting out the positions of all debris pieces using global positioning devices during crash analysis operations. Engineering assistants specialize in planning and managing construction projects for military installations and ensuring that facilities and structures are able to operate at full capacity.
