Members from Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station participated in an active shooter and hostage exercise along with El Paso County Sheriff’s Special Weapons and Tactics Team in a mission center inside the complex.
The exercise was meant to bring the 721st Security Forces Squadron, Fire Department, 21st Medical Group and El Paso County Sheriff’s SWAT team together for joint training.
