The Marine Attack Squadron 542 from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, trained with the 366th Fighter Wing during the months of January and February.
With a history that predates the inception of the Air Force, Security Forces Airmen uphold a legacy of Defensor Fortis, or “Defenders of the Force”, and it’s an idea that permeates the essence of law enforcement across the nation.
That’s why this Police Week, May 13-19, has been set aside to honor those who serve and have served as police officers, including the Gunfighters at Mountain Home.
Every quarter, the 366th Fighter Wing holds “Gunfighter Flag”, an exercise where the fighter squadrons participate in air-to-air and air-to-ground training to maintain F-15E Strike Eagles during peace-time and war-time contingencies.
Green Flag West provides essential Close Air Support training that combines the capabilities of the Air Force and Army as a multi-domain fighting force.

In the early hours of the morning, temperatures were already rising as I hauled my camera gear and a case of 50 water bottles to the hatchback of our government minivan with my co-worker and three other strangers.
