Active Shooter exercise keeps emergency response Airmen resilient and ready
Staff Sgt. Westin Shular, an explosive ordinance disposal technician assigned to the 380th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, analyzes a “dead man’s switch” connected to a simulated improvised explosive device during an active shooter, explosive ordinance disposal exercise June 25, 2022, at Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates. The intent of the joint agency exercise was to evaluate emergency responders with no advance notice, in order to identify shortfalls in training, communication, or assets, to ensure the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing is ready for real-world situations.
