MCCHORD AIR FORCE BASE, WASH. --  McChord Reservists from the 446th Security Forces Squadron completed their annual firearms training Oct. 20-21. Part of the training consisted of firing weapons during the day and night to be qualified with the M-4 and M-9 pistol.

In the next several months, security forces will emphasize air base defense skills, conduct physical training every UTA and work to get each squad member new protective gear.

In the 2007 fiscal year, 13 people within the squadron have been deployed more than 1,100 days for Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom, European Command and Pacific Command missions.
