U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Karter Capps, assigned to the 66th Security Forces Squadron, conducts the Day Zero layout, marking the beginning of the Air Assault Course, hosted by the Mountain Training Group, May 30, 2025, on Fort Drum, New York. Day Zero begins with an equipment inspection, which determines whether candidates can continue the course. This is followed by an obstacle course designed to assess their readiness and attention to detail. The 10-day Air Assault School trains Soldiers and Airmen in air assault operations, sling-load operations, and rappelling, equipping them with the skills needed to maximize helicopter assets in training and combat. The course challenges participants to operate with greater speed, precision, and discipline, enhancing their ability to execute missions in fast-paced environments. Graduates of the Air Assault Course improve their effectiveness in joint operations, thereby contributing to the success of coordinated missions across various domains. (U.S. Army photo by Pfc.
