Airmen from the 621st Contingency Response Group participated in a Joint Readiness Training Center exercise Jan. 31-Feb. 9 at Alexandria International Airport, Louisiana, and a nearby landing zone.,
10 Airmen with the Puerto Rico Air National Guard’s 156th Communications Flight recently conducted training at the Roosevelt Roads U.S. Army Reserve Center, to build on their Joint Incident Site Communications Capability skills.
The JISCC provides a bridge for communications by satellite to enable high-frequency radio, data, video and voice capabilities in emergency response situations. Airmen haul the equipment in a trailer to a designated site and set up a satellite that links to other satellites to establish communications.
The team of PRANG Airmen deployed the JISCC to Ceiba to initiate communications as part of a training scenario. Once the JISCC site was prepared, a point-to-point microwave was assembled to produce network capabilities.
