of Air Force operations. This training is a mock Air Force deployment where recruits are taught antiterrorism techniques; self-aid and buddy care; nuclear, biological and chemical preparedness; weapons training; and teamwork. Trainees then “deploy” to a mock air base, set up tents and start their field training. Trainees are taught the basics of using an M-16 rifle and receive marksmanship training at the firing range. Because of the increased threat of terrorism, trainees also learn antiterrorism techniques. These techniques give trainees knowledge and insight in terrorist tactics and how to counteract those tactics. by Master Sgt.
