Air Commandos sanitize gas masks

Gas masks are set in place before being put into a sanitizing solution at Hurlburt Field, Fla., July 10, 2017. Material management specialists with the 1st Special Operations Logistics Readiness Squadron use a chlorine solution to wash the gas masks, which are then rinsed in water and set to dry overnight. Once dry, a Joint Service Mask Leakage Tester is used to check for leaks or blocks in the masks. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Isaac O. Guest IV)
