Warming up

Airmen with the 446th Security Forces Squadron get comfortable with all-terrain vehicles during the ATV course on the UTA weekend, July 14. The ATV is one of the vehicles a security forces Airman might need in the field. For that reason, and because 446th SFS Reservists are deployable, they are required to take the ATV course every two to three years. Some of the 446th SFS Airmen have utilized those skills here at McChord Field to provide support for other security personnel, and incident response during major events, including air shows and Air Mobility Command Rodeo.
