The squadron rucks every Friday morning, year-round, but this was the first time family members accompanied the Airmen. Family members were able to experience what the 435th CRG endures to ensure readiness. Air Force fitness is essential to mission readiness, and this march helps Airmen get physically prepared for a deployed environment.
