Senior Airman Nicholas Karpenko from the 39th Civil Engineer Squadron, Explosive Ordinance Disposal Flight, takes a moment from training for a photo Feb. 2, 2011 at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey. Airman Karpenko was awarded the Air Force Combat Action Medal for taking action with insurgents during a six-month deployment to Afghanistan. The AFCAM may be awarded to Airmen that have been involved in direct fighting situations where they risked their lives in an enemy engagement. The medal was created to recognize Air Force members who were engaged in air or ground combat off base in a combat zone. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Alex Montes/RELEASED)
