August 2017 - Sailors and Airmen work
side-by-side building critical skill sets during the first
joint-service security course at the Air Force Desert Defender
Ground Combat Readiness Training Center. Although Sailors have
attended two Desert Defender classes in the past, this was the first
time Air Force and Navy students completed the same course together.
Desert Defender, the Air Force’s largest
security forces readiness training center, focuses on fundamental
base defense training prior to a deployment. The standard security
operations curriculum experienced by the joint students focused on
topics like improvised explosive device detection, mounted and
dismounted patrols, counter insurgency operations, culture
awareness, entry control point operations, vehicle roll-over
response, as well as combat lifesaving skills.
