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.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
