Joint 'spin-up' for the joint fight

Levi Wood, 347th Operations Support Squadron NCO in charge of survival evasion resistance and escape (SERE) training, during a personnel recovery scenario as part of pre-deployment ‘spin-up’ training, Dec. 15, 2018, at Avon Park Air Force Range, Fla. During this pre-deployment ‘spin-up’ training, Moody’s 347th Rescue Group tested and maximized their combat search and rescue (CSAR) and personnel recovery capabilities. Under normal circumstances, the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter crews and maintainers deploy from Moody and integrate with Guardian Angel teams from different bases. This time, Moody’s 38th RQS and 41st RQS’s will deploy together and utilized this exercise to improve their mission readiness and cohesion before their departure.
