Mission Ready, Always: 908th SFS Train, Mentor, and Prepare for What’s Next

U.S. Air Force Citizen Airmen assigned to the 908th Security Forces Squadron prepare to enter a conex during a training exercise at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, May 3, 2025. During simulated urban operation exercises, Airmen train on coordinated movement, rapid threat engagement, and maintaining communication under pressure to further develop muscle memory, unit cohesion, and decision-making in tight quarters. This kind of readiness is vital for real-world missions like base defense, convoy operations, and joint deployments in urban conflict zones. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Erica Webster)
