During the weeklong course, Guardsmen from the 116th CES along with 219 Airmen from multiple U.S. Air Force active duty, Reserve and Air National Guard units trained on building and maintaining bare-base operations at a simulated forward-deployed location. In addition, they honed their combat and survival skills, repaired simulated bomb-damaged runways, practiced EOD scenarios, set up base facilities and established various critical base operating support capabilities. Thirty-four Airmen from the 116th CES attended the exercise that consisted of extensive classroom and hands-on training culminating in an evaluation of learned skills on the last day of class.
