Sharpshooters

Sharpshooters guard the sealed tank truck that holds fuel for Air Force One, taking position 24 hours before wheels-up. They secure this critical step in pre-flight protocols, which block sabotage through guarded fueling, gallon samples tested for purity and octane, shielded wiring against blasts, and oversight by 48 armed Air Lift Security Unit members. Their watch fits Donna's rundown of daily checks and 154-day overhauls, narrowing crisis fears to a likely failed light.
