YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Members from the 374th Maintenance Squadron aircraft metal technology shop, custom-made components for a water pump March 27, 2011. Two teams of four Airmen on 12-hour shifts designed and created the necessary adapters, pressure valves and other pieces so Japanese crews could use the pumps to augment the plant’s cooling system. The pumps will be used to transport fresh water into the plant instead of ocean water, which leaves corroding salt residue when it evaporates. The project is one more way Team Yokota has supported Operation Tomodachi, the overall relief mission to help the Japanese people in their recovery efforts. (U.S. Air Force photo/Osakabe Yasuo)
