Foreign object damage is any substance, debris or article alien to a vehicle or system that can cause significant damage. The 721st Aerial Port Squadron preforms FOD prevention sweeps three times a week to prevent this from happening to aircraft engines during takeoff or landing. In fiscal year 2013, Ramstein reported more than $4.8 million in damages due to aircraft FOD. To help prevent FOD, clean-up is conducted after any work or maintenance on or near the flightline. For the Airmen who make the effort to ensure the area is carefully scouted for FOD, a golden bolt is hidden on the flightline for the Airman to find with the finder receiving a reward.
