The Air Force’s main base for survival, evasion, resistance, and escape training has added another course. The 66th Training Squadron’s Det. 2 at NAS Pensacola, Fla., has relocated to Fairchild AFB, Wash., according to an Air Force Education and Training Command release. The detac?hment is responsible for the three-day Parachute Water Survival Course, which is responsible for training aircrew that fly in aircraft with the capability for parachute egress.

The move is expected to save the Air Force $4.6 million per year in temporary duty assignment funds and operating expenses. The first course began Aug. 10.
