Simulations prepare Airmen for deployment

A Silver Flag training exercise was held at Ramstein June 2 to 13 to prepare Airmen for upcoming deployments. The core focus of the exercise is to teach Airmen how to set up a sufficient bare base and be able to adapt and adjust to any situation they might come
across while being deployed.
