The Official Magazine of the 138th Fighter Wing Spring/Summer Issue "Locked On Magazine" - Volume 2, Issue 1.
Each one of us has a responsibility to be lethal and ready to respond to a combat contingency at all times. Our end game of bombs on target and missiles in the air against our foes depends upon each of us to do our jobs with precision. It is career training, in each shop, at all levels that form lethality in every sense of the word. For our Full Spectrum Readiness Training lethality comes in four forms that enable us to effectively operate as a lethal war-fighter: Weapons Training, Self-Aid & Buddy Care, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Medical Readiness.
Our Wing planners continually challenge themselves to build realistic training plans for each drill and training deployment, to ensure the Wing deploys and employs combat lethality in our F-16’s. The USAF approach to training has shifted away from preparing for the planned AEF rotation of the past two decades, to that of an “always ready” force with FSR. We will continue our FSR training by planning and executing 3-day drills and rotating selected members through an overnight scenario. The first 3-day drill with overnight training will be conducted at Camp Gruber during November Drill. I am excited about these changes as it will allow us additional flexibility for training while enabling a quicker spin-up if a no-notice contingency arises.
Thank you for all you do. I appreciate your service and patriotism.
Strength and Honor!
Col. Tray “Rudy” Siegfried
