First responders included base security forces, firefighters, explosive ordnance disposal, medical and bioenvironmental engineering specialized teams who performed tasks under the watchful eyes of exercise evaluators. The next series of quarterly exercises are planned Oct. 31 through Nov. 4. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ben Strasser)
