Sgt. Matthew Ebarb (right), 8th MXS noncommissioned officer in charge of aircraft metals technology, show a segment of the custom built railroad track cover their team created at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, June 17, 2025. The aircraft metal technology section developed the railroad track covers to prevent safety mishaps occurring from personal transportation device crashes on the tracks. This enhancement directly contributes to the Wolf Pack’s mission readiness by reducing the likelihood of railroad track-related safety incidents that could render personnel non-mission-capable.
