Tactical Response Force Training

Narrator: The 620th Ground Combat Training Squadron trains Tactical Response Force Airmen in the skills needed to perform their mission of protecting and securing our nation's nuclear weapons.

Maj. Jay Parsons: We have to ensure that these weapons are secure and the one way you can ensure that they are secure is to make sure that the folks who are charged on a day-to-day basis with guarding those resources or securing those resources have the highest level of training possible.

Narrator: The course these Airmen are taking today is the breacher course, where they learn a variety of methods to enter launch facilities, weapon storage areas and other buildings.

SSgt David Meadows: You have your mechanical breaching, so you'll learn the monoshock ram for breaching doors for just basic entries without using explosives and you have your explosive breachings to take down doors and wall charges.

Narrator: But breaching is not the only training offered here at Camp Guernsey. The instructors also train TRF Airmen in nuclear-focused tactics and marksmanship.

SSgt Brandon Layton: We train all the way up from the M9 mission, the M4, all the way up to your heavy weapons, your MK19, your 50 cals, everything like that. Pretty much any type of weapon they'll shoot, we'll have a hand in training them and getting their mission done. So we wanna prepare them for exactly everything they may see.

Narrator: And thanks to the instructors at the 620th, when these Airmen return to their home bases they'll be able to take on any challenge in support of Air Force Global Strike Command. Air Force Sergeant David Clark, Camp Guernsey, Wyoming.
