BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — Two new systems purchased by the 307th Security Forces Squadron were utilized during the March unit training assembly here. The purchases included a mobile urban shoot house and a tactical target system. The items can be configured in a variety of ways to enhance mandatory training scenarios including, active shooter, expeditionary active shooter, force-on-force and shoot-move-communicate situations.
Prior to getting the systems, the unit could train for these skills at only one environment on Barksdale, an abandoned dormitory. The building presented a host of problems for the 307th SFS. It did not provide dynamic training and its availability was limited.
“It was not configurable, so once the Airmen learned the layout they just went through repetitive muscle memory on the same problems,” said Capt. Joel Brown, 307th SFS commander.
