Some 43 airmen of the 939th Air Refueling Wing at Portland, Ore., are the first to complete the Air Force’s readiness safeguard command and control functional training exercise. The five-day course, which took place at Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center in Wisconsin, provides training in problem solving for personnel manning a unit’s survival and recovery center, putting them “in a realistic environment,” said Lt. Col. Jonathan McDaniel, the program’s director.
As the Space Force prepares to field new fleets of satellites that can track moving targets in the air and on the ground, it’s working to ensure it has the organizational structures in place to onboard and operate those systems.
