353rd CTS, 210th RQS team up with A-10 pilot for RF-A 16-2 personnel recovery mission

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Kurtis Douge, a survival, evasion, resistance and escape craftsman assigned as the 353rd Combat Training Squadron personnel recovery division superintendent, talks about evasion steps with Capt. Keli Kaaekuahiwi, an A-10 pilot assigned to the 354th Fighter Squadron out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., as they use the terrain to conceal their location during a personnel recovery exercise at a training site in the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, June 14, 2016, during RED FLAG-Alaska (RF-A) 16-2. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. and partner nation forces, enabling joint and international units like the Bulldogs to sharpen their combat skills in a realistic threat environment inside the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, the largest instrumented air, ground and electronic combat training range in the world.
