Keeping creepy crawlies contained within Iraq is one of the biggest reasons Airmen from the 407th Provost Marshal's office inspect the bags and equipment of every Airman, Soldier, Sailor, civilian or other coalition forces personnel heading home.

"We're at the center of the program overseeing more than 90 inspectors ***igned to Contingency Operating Base Adder, which inspects the cargo of more than 10,000 personnel and several million pounds of incoming and outgoing cargo," said Airman 1st Cl*** Cody Colston, 407th PMO military police Airman who is deployed from Royal Air Forces Lakenheath, England.

"The Provost Marshal's office act as the lead customs agent for the base; we inspect anything and everything going through here," Airman Colston said.

The Provost Marshal's office also manages and certifies Army and Navy customs inspectors for the program. The Airmen search for contraband items, such as war trophies and living creatures trying to hitch a free ride back to the United States.
