Operations Group mission accomplished

A 932nd Airlift Wing flight crew hit the water to swim across the pool and get one hundred percent of the team up the boarding station and into the life raft. The 932nd Operations Group sent pilots and aeromedical evacuation personnel across base to be trained in the rain during their last Unit Training Assembly weekend at the base pool, satisfying all required water survival skills. After making it into the raft, they checked supplies and put up an overhead tent for protection from the elements. The program simulated a plane crash landing in a remote water location and the crew must then take care of each other using first aid skills along with enduring cold water, swimming, surviving and building shelter with the limited tools provided.

They came together for camaraderie and a group photo outdoors at the Scott Air Force Base parade field. It took about an hour from start to finish to complete the project and involved going up in a mechanical high lift for Air Force civil engineers and public affairs Airmen, who seemed to enjoy it. It also allowed the entire 932nd Medical Group to form up, check their uniforms for proper rank and ribbons, and get in one group photo together, which had not been accomplished in a long time.

Civil engineering team reworks landscape

932nd Civil Engineering Squadron Airmen worked moving dirt and reworking landscaping recently at a remote Air Force Academy site, known as the Field Engineering and Readiness Laboratory (FERL), completing projects that improve the area and provide students with a solid foundation for learning scientific theory and engineering design principles in more advanced courses of the civil and environmental engineering curriculum. The "construct first" approach is the primary focus of Civil Engineering 351 (CivEngr 351), the entry-level course for cadets majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the U.S. Air Force Academy. How is the course run? CivEngr 351 is an integrated, two-phase program over a five-week period. The first phase is Operation Civil Engineering Air Force (OPS CEAF). Students spend two weeks at an operational Air Force base in order to gain an appreciation of Air Force missions, support functions, and civil engineering capabilities. The second phase is FERL. During this three-week phase, students "deploy" to the FERL training area to perform hands-on activities in surveying, construction methods, and construction materials under the supervision and guidance of mentors. The 932nd Civil Engineering Squadron reworked part of this obstacle course and interacted with some students at the beginning of their tour, who now will gain more experience working and living under field conditions as they utilize some of the readiness assets used in the Operational Air Force.
