The 39th Information Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla., graduated its first international student from its signature management course. Royal Australian Air Force Squadron Leader John Waugh said he gained good ideas and insights from the course, which teaches personnel how to analyze a force’s operational footprint and protect a wing’s resources and missions in detail. “Since America is one of our coalition partners, joint opportunities like this are truly valuable experiences,” said Waugh, who works at Australia’s Russell Offices—the rough equivalent to the Pentagon. He graduated on Jan. 26th. (Hurlburt report by 1st Lt. Casey Osborne)
