Support operations involve extensive flightline repair work, hot pit refueling, or the storage or movement of large quantities of gasoline and other fuels. Performs standby duty during aircraft refueling and defueling, engine maintenance and testing, welding, and burning on fueled and/or armed aircraft, ammunition handling or other special circumstances.
