JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, ALASKA (August 4, 2025): In the dense woodlands of Alaska, far from the familiarity of their home station, Airmen from the Nebraska National Guard’s 155th Security Forces Squadron honed their skills - one land navigation checkpoint, squad movement and simulation at a time.
For Tech. Sgt. Aaron Carman, assistant unit training manager, the mission was clear: Prepare defenders for the unpredictable, in a place that demands it.
"This is the DFT, which is deployed for training,” Carman said. “The goal is training, coming up here and utilizing the resources and the environment and the different areas that JBER [Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson] has that we just don't have back home. We can do land navigation, we can do squad movements, reacting to enemy fire, simulating scenarios like recovering a downed aircraft or responding to domestic operations… all the different training topics."
