Senior Airman Kyle Blythe, 19th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, checks equipment into the Mobility Inventory Control Accountability System at the 386th Expeditionary Theater Distribution Center in Southwest Asia. The ETDC is one of three in the U.S. Air Forces Central Command area of responsibility that provides a one-stop shop for individual body armor, chemical protective gear and courtesy weapons storage for deploying and transit members. In-theater distribution of equipment saves millions of dollars a year in excess baggage charges, aircraft fuel expenditures and movement costs.
