LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. -- Team Little Rock Airmen were put through their paces on what it meant to deploy and what to do in the event of an attack in a deployed environment during an exercise Feb. 21, 2018, at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark.
The full-spectrum readiness exercise lasted for the week of Feb. 21 – Feb. 23 and included being bussed to Camp Warlord for deployment training.
“The purpose of this exercise is to make us more vigilant and aware of what to do in deployed situations,” said Staff Sgt. Jose Zavala, 19th Maintenance Squadron metals technician. “I believe it will be very beneficial for the base.”
Zavala took charge of the group he was with when the simulated scenarios began and made sure the other Airmen were following the correct steps to respond to the simulated threats. He also found that he benefited from the training as well.
“It’s definitely helped me out to have a better understanding of what to do during these deployment scenarios,” Zavala said.
