Evaluated Search and Rescue Exercise
Saturday, 25 October 2008 - Various locations in NH — The NH Wing today participated in its biannual search and rescue evaluation. Today's exercise was similar to our usual monthly exercises but our performance was evaluated by the Air Force.
Six members from the Lebanon squadron participated and fielded a ground team out of Lebanon. We were able to get some good training with direction finding equipment, radio communications, and ground navigation.
