Ready and able

A military fireman responds to a building-on-fire scenario as part of a three-wing Operational Readiness Exercise Oct. 18 held at the Combined Readiness Training Center, Gulfport, Miss. The 403rd Wing, along with the 433rd Airlift Wing and 165th AW, participated in the five-day exercise that tested airmen on various military scenarios. The ORE is the precursor to the Wings' Operational Readiness Inspection in early 2012. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Brian McGloin)
