Air Base 201 at Agadez moves for FLEXIT

Major Carsten Stahr (left), 724th Expeditionary Air Base Squadron director of operations, takes down tents from the old base to move to a new location, Sept. 11, 2017, at Air Base 201, Agadez, Niger. The move to the bigger base is called “FLEXIT,” short for "Flintlock Exit.” Being located in this deployed environment requires tents to function as temporary housing in lieu of traditional infrastructure.
