May 23, 2016 - When natural disaster strikes, the time to
prepare is over. The key to having an effective Missouri Air
National Guard is to have members ready to go when the State
Emergency happens. Citizen soldiers from the 131st Bomb Wing
spent a week out at Camp Clark Missouri training for their
State mission. The training scenarios are quite realistic at
Camp Clark. The 131st Medical Squadron employed the use of
moulage to create realistic injuries to acting victims. This
year the disaster scenario was an EF5 Tornado.
The 239th
Combat Communications Squadron came out and set up
communications for the Camp. The 239th is a key player in
setting up communications for First Time Responders during State
Emergency Duty, including the historic Missouri Flooding over the 2016
New Year. This is the third year that the 131st has been attending Camp
Clark. It started small with 131st Maintenance group who introduced the
camp in 2014. Since then it has taken off with new training scenarios
and elements added.
