Senior Airman Jacob Ellis, left, Senior Airman Layrd Olliff, center, and Senior Airman Joshua Amos, in-flight refueling specialists assigned to the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron, treat a simulated patient’s injuries during a “boom rodeo" hosted by the 92nd Operations Group at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Sept. 20, 2023. During the rodeo, six air refueling squadrons competed in a forklift loading event, Tactical Combat Casualty Care and a water survival scenario. Scenarios like this enable Airmen to get hands-on training with tools to which they may not otherwise have access. These competitions also build camaraderie between units from different bases and provide friendly competition to motivate Airmen to perform their best.
