Air Force Reserve Command’s 301st Fighter Wing in Fort Worth enlisted the aid of the Lewisville, Tex., SWAT team to help the wing’s Security Forces train to fight in an urban environment. The wing wanted realistic training—it got it in a weekend’s worth of activities that included nighttime firefights, attacks, and rescue operations. Joining the 301st SF airmen were members of the wing’s medical and civil engineering units. “We couldn’t have asked for better support from Lewisville,” remarked TSgt. Ron Zumwalt, 301st SF Squadron event team coordinator.
The Air Force has awarded Boeing a $75 million first production contract to begin acquiring its long-range JDAM as the service seeks to expand and extend its munition strike options in an increasingly distance-driven targeting world.
