5/29/2013 - Senior Airman Ruel Pangilinan, from the 30th Security Forces Squadron, aims his M-249 downrange after an enemy assault on the base during the three-day Brave Defender field training exercise May 20 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The exercise is the culmination of Air Force Materiel Command’s six-week security forces deployment training, administered by the 96th Ground Combat Training Squadron. GCTS instructors teach 10 training classes a year, which consists of improvised explosive device detection and reaction, operating in an urban environment, mission planning, land navigation and casualty care and more. More than 140 active-duty and National Guard Airmen attended this training. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
