The Few… The Chose…Quick Response Team

The 51st Security Forces Squadron, held try-outs for the Quick Response Team here, July 8. The purpose of the QRT is to provide an immediate response to any high risk situation on Osan Air Base to include barricaded suspects, workplace violence, domestic violence and abuse response, school violence, and disaster response. During the tryouts Airmen were tested both physically and mentally with the ultimate goal of only selecting the best of the best. The physical aspect of the try-outs consisted of dragging/carrying a 70 pound buddy for 60 yard, calisthenics, building clearing, weapon assembly, 100 pound over head log presses and a 5K as a squad while securing the 100 pound log. During the rigorous try-outs Airmen are pushed to their limits and often loose hand eye coordination, basic motor skills and attention to detail. These factors simulate the effects real world operations were members of the QRT are often under extreme duress. (U.S. Air Force Photos by/ Senior Airman Adam Grant)

Ensuring pilots it won't be a cold one

An Air Crew Flight Equipment Journeyman, Senior Airman Anthony Sportsman from the 51st Operation Support Squadron inspected an anti-exposure suit using the water tester. Airman Sportsman sealed the feet, arms and neck openings of the anti exposure suit. Once sealed, he filled the suit with water. After the suit was completely filled with water, he looked for beads of water to form [an indication of a small hole or tear]. In the event that a small hole or tear is found Airman Sportsman circles the area with a black grease pencil. When all the holes are found and circled, Airman Sportsman then empties the suit, turns it inside-out and sets it to dry for the necessary repairs to be made. The anti-exposure suit is a vital operational item and mandatory for pilots that fly over waters that have a temperature of 50 degrees or below.(U.S. Air Force Photo by/Staff Sgt. Daylena Gonzalez)
