Senior Airman Troy Hicks, 7th Air Support Operation Squadron Tactical Air Control Party specialist, from Fort Bliss, Texas, advances through smoke during a simulated squad ambush as part of a Pre-Ranger Assessment Course, Aug. 26, 2018, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. Moody’s 93d Air Ground Operations Wing hosted the three-day assessment which challenged approximately 20 Airmen from the 93d AGOW and 23d Wing on their physical fitness, land navigation skills, leadership qualities, water confidence and academic and tactical abilities under duress. The evaluation is designed to determine whether Airmen are ready to attend the Air Force Ranger Assessment Course held at Fort Bliss, Texas. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Greg Nash)
