U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Thomas Schalin, 83rd

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Thomas Schalin, 83rd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron pararescue team member, prepares for a mission rehearsal in an excess structure here Aug. 26, 2014. The event allowed PJs to hone their breaching, clearing, patient care and egress skills. Air Force rescue forces conduct combat search and rescue and personnel recovery operations. Schalin is deployed from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. The 83rd ERQS partnered with Joint Task Force Trailblazer, U.S. Army 2nd Engineer Brigade, to use the structure prior to its scheduled deconstruction. Task Force Trailblazer is currently demolishing 50-70 wooden structures here each week as part of Operation Enduring Freedom retrograde operations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Maj.
