During their two-week annual training, 285th CES Airmen executed heavy equipment operations, water purification using reverse osmosis units, HVAC repair, welding, and rapid airfield damage repair at the Regional Training Site. Cadres from the 188th CES provided instruction to ensure units remain mission-ready for contingency operations.
