920th Rescue Wing Public Affairs
2/9/2014 - PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla -- Rescue
Airmen at the 920th Rescue Wing used their new training tower for the
first time Feb 9. The tower is specifically designed to prepare them for
the battlefield by simulating a variety of rescue environments.
Although the Guardian Angel Training Tower was user-ready Jan. 1, the
GAs had to develop standard operating and safety procedures for command
approval, said Chief Master Sgt. Doug Kestranek, 308th Rescue Squadron
chief enlisted manager.
From simulated elevator shafts to rappel stations off the top of the
tower, reservists will train to rescue personnel in need. "It looks all
clean and pretty now, but it's my intention to keep it dirty with boot
marks," said Kestranek.
This is one more tool the rescue airmen will use to train to save lives, living by their motto, "That others may live."
