U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Elijah Sutton, 436th Aerial Port Squadron traffic management apprentice, removes risers from a BA-30 low-profile parachute during Dover Duties at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, May 7, 2026. Sutton was selected for Dover Duties, where he learned how aircrew flight equipment Airmen inspect and repack lifesaving equipment. Sutton said the visit showed him how both aerial port and aircrew flight equipment missions rely on attention to detail to keep people and equipment safe. Through Dover Duties, selected Airmen learn how other specialties contribute to mission readiness while sharing connections to their own career fields.
