7/10/2012 - KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Airmen here continue operations as the base proceeds in its operational readiness exercise, Beverly Midnight 12-03. Emergency evaluation teams monitor and test all elements of wartime operations and how efficiently Airmen are able to activate and respond to enemy forces.
While the base's normal day-to-day operations are completed, base exercises are designed to provide realistic training environments that mimic what wartime operations would be like. These exercises include self-aid and buddy care, evacuations, mass casualty response, aircraft generation and mission oriented protective posture training.
