Red Devils host counter-IED training event

Wolf Pack first responders participated in an interagency training event hosted by the 8th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight at Kunsan Air Base, April 8.

The training event focused on emergency procedures and response actions in regards to a simulated improvised explosive device placed at the base post office.

“For the training, we placed a suspicious package at the base post office,” said Senior Airman Cody Patterson, 8th CES EOD journeyman. “We wanted to test the different entities on base and their emergency reporting procedures. It also gave us the chance to challenge our newer EOD technicians.”
