Francis Knutson, a training instructor from the Asia-Pacific Counter Improvised Explosive Device Fusion Center, teaches Security Forces Airmen from the 128th Air Refueling Wing, Wisconsin Air National Guard, about the operations of a THOR III Counter-Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (IED) System during the IED Awareness Course at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Ala., July 10, 2018. The THOR III uses three receivers mounted on a backpack to electronically jam radio-controlled IEDs. The IED Awareness Course aimed to train 128 ARW Airmen on how to detect and deter potential threats during real-world missions using devices like the THOR III. (Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
