“Endex... endex... endex.†For every engineer who has ever been stationed on the Korean Peninsula, that simple phrase is typically music to the ear.

The base had just begun a four-day military exercise in which the mighty members of the 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron were set to build upon the “Salty Demo†legacy by focusing on Rapid Airfield Damage Repair (RADR) and other critical wartime tasks. Unfortunately, the real world had different plans.
