Marine Corps Detachment Goodfellow collaborated with the 316th Training squadron to host a joint training opportunity. It gave Airmen a chance to apply their knowledge and skills within the electronic signals course.
Instructors assigned to the 316th TRS utilized Beast standard ground antennas and field expedient antennas to participate in a direction-finding exercise. During the exercise, teams located the source of radio communications and five beacons across an estimated 250 acres of land.
