Today the #127thCivilEngineerSquadron's fire department trained its members in repelling techniques as part of annual training requirements. Repelling is a necessary skill for firefighters when conducting rescue operations in urban environments. This training site at @Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center is ideal for our team as we are here in advance of #ExerciseSpartan, a two weeks long exercise meant to demonstrate the unit’s capability to operate in a contested, degraded and operationally-limited environment, against a near-peer adversary.
