    Joint training exercise focuses on personnel recovery during Combat Raider

    As Combat Raider continues, participants conducted personnel recovery training Nov. 16, 2016, just north of Belle Fourche, SD., in the Powder River Training Complex. The event started with a show-of-force by two B-1 Bombers from Ellsworth Air Force Base guided by joint tactical controllers from the 5th Air Support Operations Squadron, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. Once the area was clear, a helicopter from the South Dakota National Guard’s 189th Aviation Regiment came to evacuate the simulated causalities.
