SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Firefighters from the 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron administer first aid to Airman 1st Class John Soto, 52nd Equipment Maintenance Squadron, a simulated victim of a car bomb during a barrier plan exercise here March 19. Airmen from the 52nd Logistics Readiness Squadron placed barriers to test the base’s ability to respond to an increased defensive posture. The exercise included a mock car bomb explosion to test the wing’s response to an emergency situation. This type of training prepares first responders to protect the base and U.S. government assets and tests base members’ responses to real-world emergency events.
