An Airman from the 822d Base Defense Squadron aims down the sights of an M2 machine gun, July 25, 2018, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. The ‘Safeside’ defenders evaluated their base defense tactics and procedures while performing patrols, tactical combat casualty care and countering improvised explosive devices for a mission readiness exercise. After successfully completing these events, the defenders are eligible to earn their Global Response Force status, which certifies the unit to deploy worldwide.
