Learning how to continue the mission while under the stresses of combat is essential to being successful on the battlefield. Although the mission of the 460th Space Wing is largely tied to space operations, some units in the wing play a role on the frontlines.
The 460th Medical Group held annual Combat Leadership and Combat Medic training Oct. 1 -4, 2015, at Fort Carson, Colo.
“The training covered a whole host of real-world scenarios that Airmen could run into down range,” said Senior Master Sgt. Colby Bower, 460th MDG superintendent. “This includes vehicle born improvised explosive devices, IED’s, a downed pilot, encountering weapons caches and sniper fire, as well as ambushes.
