Keesler security forces storm through Integrated Defense Leaders

Tech. Sgt. James Sympson, a Defender with the 446th Security Forces Squadron stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, exchanges blank fire with an assaulting force during an area security operations exercise, May 19, 2022, at Camp James A. Garfield Joint Military Training Center, Ohio. The training was part of the two-week Integrated Defense Leadership Course, based at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, and using training grounds at CJAG. Sympson was an opposing force student during the course, meaning he studied adversary tactics and employed them in various scenarios as a means to better understand countermeasures. IDLC was designed to provide Reserve Defenders with intensely focused hands-on training to achieve and maintain combat readiness. (U.S. Air Force photo/Eric M. White)
