Desert Lightning News – Digital and print publication serving Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson AZ and surrounding communities. An AerotechNews.com Publication. – December 3, 2021
Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2021 edition of Davis-Monthan AFB Desert Lightning News! A notable “first” took place at Davis-Monthan recently, when the base played host to its first Combat Resource Officer Phase II Screener exercise. This demanding training, conducted twice a year, ensures that “our future CROs are physically strong, exceptional leaders who can problem solve and possess a critical set of attributes,” according to Capt. David Reifenberg, 68th Rescue Squadron assistant director of operations. The CRO Screener impacts a vital portion of the D-M mission, and we have coverage for you here, in this month’s issue of Desert Lightning News.
