Crew chiefs from the 7th Expeditionary Air Mobility Unit perform a foreign object damage walk prior to the aircraft taxiing in the runway June 8, 2016, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. FOD, or foreign object damage, is a hazard for aircraft and other precision equipment. Suction caused by the air intake of jet engines can pull FOD into the aircraft and cause damage to the high-precision engines and other systems in the aircraft. FOD walks are performed to eliminate danger and problems to the aircraft taxiing down the runway. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Janelle Patiño/Released)
