Senior Airman Lewis Battle III, a monitor facility operator assigned to the 39th Security Forces Squadron, poses for a portrait with a M240B machine gun during a training exercise on Incirlik Air Base, Turkey. The 39th SFS provides cutting edge force protection for Incirlik AB and its geographically separated units in Turkey including flightline security, law enforcement services and support for numerous contingency operations in Europe and Asia. Prior to joining their operational flight, new members assigned to the 39th SFS participate in a 5-day field training exercise to assess each Airman’s ability to execute baseline security tactics, techniques and procedures needed for securing NATO’s Southern Flank. On the final day of the exercise, defenders showcase all of their new training with a ruck run, simulated tactical casualty combat care scenario, active shooter response scenarios, and conclude by securing a protective aircraft structure. Once the Airmen complete this training exercise, they’re given the official 39th SFS unit patch and earn the title of “Sheepdog.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Joshua T. Crossman)
