Crimson smoke: 51st CES participates in Ulchi Freedom Shield 24

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Steven Brost, left, 51st Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter, performs a buddy check for another firefighter before engaging a simulated fire during Ulchi Freedom Shield 24 at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Aug. 18, 2024. The purpose behind a buddy check is to ensure protective gear is properly worn and secure to limit the injury of personnel. Training is conducted throughout the year to generate combat airpower at a moment’s notice, affirming the commitment to the ROK remains ironclad and ensures regional stability throughout the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. UFS24 is an annual combined exercise conducted in support of the U.S.-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty that highlights the U.S. commitment to the alliance.
