| Mount Redoubt Volcano About To Blow |
 Alaska Volcano Obervatory - January 30, 2009
Seismic unrest continues at Redoubt and activity is well above normal background levels. AVO continues to observe potential activity with seismic, satellite and radar data. The volcano has not erupted. An AVO observation flight this afternoon reported no sign of ash emission, but observed significant steaming from a new melt depression at the mouth of the summit crater near the vent area of the 1989-90 eruption. The Aviation Color Code remains at ORANGE and the Volcano Alert Level remains at WATCH. |

AGM-129 Advanced
Cruise Missile (Nuclear)
 Airmen
secure an ACM cruise missile to a B-52 Stratofortress
pylon during an alert generation exercise at Minot Air
Force Base, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2006. The exercise tested
cruise missile loading and aircrew response procedures.
The ACM is a low-observable, air- launched, strategic
nuclear missile with significant improvements over the
ALCM-B in range, accuracy, and survivability. Armed with
a W80 warhead, it is designed to evade air and ground-based
defenses in order to strike heavily defended, hardened
targets at any location within any potential enemy's territory.
The ACM is designed for B-52H external carriage. (U.S.

Tech. Sgt. John Mascolo and his military
working dog, Ajax, left, await a helicopter pickup with
Staff Sgt. Manny Garcia and his dog, Jimmy, outside Forward
Operating Base Normandy, Iraq, on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2006.
The dogs are wearing "doggles" to prevent sand and debris
from getting in their eyes during sandstorms or when near
helicopters. The 35th Security Force Squadron Airmen and
their dogs had completed a security sweep of a farmhouse
looking for weapons and materials used to make improvised
explosive devices. (U.S. Army photo/Pfc. William Servinski
