The 61st Security Forces Squadron at Los Angeles AFB, Calif., has a new simulation system that can create a wide variety of situations using computerized and video images to provide either a traditional ground war or urban environment. And, it talks back. Airmen running through the simulation can interact with the “bad guy,” giving commands that lead to either a shoot-out or surrender. Other situations can include scenarios faced by security forces in deployed locations, such as ambushes or roadside bombings.
With no end to the government shutdown in sight, Airmen, Guardians, and defense civilians face increasing uncertainty about whether or not they will be paid—and how to make ends meet if they are not.
