HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah --  419th Fighter Wing Airmen broke out their chemical gear and brushed up on wartime readiness during an exercise here this weekend. As part of the exercise, reservists from units across the wing, including civil engineering, emergency management and medical, honed dozens of critical skills at a simulated deployed location.

"Overall the training was a success. Many younger Airmen were stepping up to complete the mission and senior members were demonstrating their mentorship qualities by teaching and guiding younger Airmen," said Senior Master Sgt. Jason Reininger, 419th Medical Squadron.
