OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. — The 55th Security Forces Squadron’s National Airborne Operation Center Security section and three Federal Air Marshals conducted a joint two-day anti-terrorism training March 2 and 3, 2020.
“Training events such as these are critical to building and reinforcing relationships with federal anti-terrorism and force protection agencies,” said Master Sgt. Ernie Argarin, 55th SFS, NAOC Security NCO in charge. “To learn from the best in the business is indeed a privilege.”
The training paired air marshals with our fly-away security team allowing them the opportunity to share and compare procedures and tactical skills. They learned defensive measures and tactics, different ways to approach a subject, takedown strategies and handcuffing techniques as well as conducting dry-fire drills and focusing on shooting techniques.
“It’s always beneficial to us that work on commercial aircraft to see the other side of things, especially the military side on different procedures, different operations and how they attack certain problems they might encounter inflight and outside the aircraft,” said John, a federal air marshal.
