Airmen from the 152nd Airlift Wing (152AW) participated in Operation Mustang March 3-4 at the Nevada Air National Guard Base in Reno, Nev.
Operation Mustang was a training exercise with the purpose to inspect the readiness of the Airmen and prepare them for real-life scenarios, to include being able to successfully deploy and perform their duties in a threat environment. The 152nd Logistics Readiness Squadron, 152nd Force Support Squadron, 152nd Maintenance Group and 152nd Operations Group were all involved in the exercise.
The exercise included Ability to Survive and Operate, or ATSO training, which improves the Airmen’s ability to perform their jobs in situations where Mission Oriented Protective Posture, also known as MOPP gear, is required.
“I think this exercise is great for a lot of the younger Airmen who haven’t been through it. It’s helping them understand the reason why we do these exercises, and why we continue to do these exercises,” said Master Sgt. Michael Mathews, a non commissioned officer from the 152nd Logistics Readiness Squadron at the 152nd Airlift Wing.
Senior Master Sgt. Tracy Woodfolk, the 152nd Airlift Wing inspection superintendent said, “This exercise is benefiting the base because we need to know where our base stands on readiness so we can know where to focus our training. It is also helping Airmen get into the mindset of ATSO training.”
Woodfolk said this is the first of these kinds of exercises on the base, but there will be many more to come.
