From boilers to backhoes: how 5CES keeps Minot AFB’s heart beating

Senior Airman Pierre Jenkins, a 5th Civil Engineer Squadron pavements and construction equipment specialist, and U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Sebastian Pulgarin, a 5CES structural specialist, cut off branches from a tree on Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, April 10, 2025. The tree’s roots intervened with the building’s underground pipes, requiring the tree to be cut down and uprooted to repair the damage. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Kendra A. Ransum)
