LLAB 20 - 23 Feb 10

This week, the cadets broke into 4 groups and went to different stations, learning a skill at each that they will use at an upcoming LLAB including camouflage, clearing rooms of hostiles in a fireteam, and land navigation.

The cadets refer to their Airman's Manual

AEF, or Aerospace Expeditionary Force, refers to the deployment cycle that the Air Force has used since 2000. In this 21st century Air Force, airmen no longer are limited in their duties to what has been traditional jobs for airmen. In fact, because the Army and Marine Corps are stretched so thin in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, the Air Force has been performing duties that has traditionally been Army and Marine Corps jobs.

The cadets learn proper face camouflage techniques.

At Field Training, a large portion is dedicated to exercises similar to the duties they may one day need to perform in a deployed environment, such as convoy security.
