LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. -- Before U.S. Air Force Airmen can become Combat Airlifters, they undergo extensive survival, evasion, resistance and escape training. A key component of SERE training involves apprehension avoidance. A small team of SERE instructors teach hundreds of C-130 aircrew members each year at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. Airmen from the Air Mobility Command, Air Education & Training Command, Arkansas Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves learn hand-to-hand combat techniques, that can mean the difference between life and death. The skills learned allow aircrews to maintain or regain their freedom and prepare for a worst case scenario. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Harry Brexel)
