Some 120 Air Force Reserve Command security forces airmen who recently traveled to Camp Smith, Tex., for two weeks of combat training got “sustainment training with a twist,” said Maj. Wes White, operations officers of the 610th Security Forces Squadron, NAS JRB Fort Worth, Tex. Participating in one of three AFRC Patriot Defender exercises this year, the Reservists earned their three-year sustainment credit by taking standard refresher training, such as vehicle searches, and today’s combat type training, such as convoy and urban operations.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
