In May 2021, Colby was selected to be part of a new type of training initiated by the Air Force Reserve Command, AFRC, called Integrated Defense Leadership Course, IDLC. The concept was to teach critical Security Forces training and the new mindset of future battles under Agile Combat Environment, ACE.
Reserve Citizen Airmen from the 943rd Rescue Group successfully completed training scenarios that incorporated highly mobile, temporary facilities in remote, austere locations while still performing combat search and rescue operations from 30 April through 3 May.
