3/20/2012 - KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Airmen on Kunsan Air Base prepared for wartime operations during an operational readiness exercise, Beverly Midnight 12-01, which kicked off the week of March 18, just weeks before the Combined Unit Inspection by the Pacific Air Forces Inspector General team in April. Base exercises help ensure the skills and capabilities of operators, maintainers and supporting agencies of the Wolf Pack can operate effectively and safely in wartime conditions.
Emergency evaluation team members test the Wolf Pack on every facet of wartime contingencies. These exercises consist of self-aid and buddy care, evacuations, possible mass casualty exercises, and getting the Wolf Pack to "take the fight north" successfully.
