A Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or MRAP, vehicle drives toward a taxiway Oct. 2 at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Airmen in the 532nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron's Quick Response Force will use MRAPs as part of their mission to defend the base both inside and outside the perimeter, a mission not conducted by the Air Force since the Vietnam War.
