Adding "fiber" for a well-balanced communications system
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Staff Sgt. Steven Bird, 374th Communications Squadron cable and antenna maintainer, threads a fiberoptic cable through an underground conduit at Yokota Air Base, Japan, March 23. The cabling provided high-speed network access to a new "tent city" of additional office space for military members stationed here temporarily for Operation Tomodachi.
