Battlefield Airmen sharpen skills during Exercise Twilight: "Fifteen battlefield Airmen stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., conducted close air support training here with two U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets Oct. 22 to 24 as part of Exercise Twilight.
The Airmen were from the 5th Air Support Operations Squadron, part of the 1st Air Support Operations Group also at Fort Lewis. The exercise allowed the squadron members to practice important procedures used on battlefields today, said 1st ASOG Commander Col. Rob Evans.
'In our role as the I Corps Tactical Air Control Party, we take our joint responsibilities seriously,' Colonel Evans said. 'Exercises like this are great, because they let us refine our procedures and ensure we're ready to support the joint fight.'"
