The 61st Security Forces Squadron hosted the LA Police Department and Orange County Sheriff SWAT teams for a joint exercise on April 17, 2024, at Fort MacArthur, San Pedro, California. During the training, SWAT teams utilized blanks, simulated ammunition, and flashbangs, providing a more realistic training experience. A call for base volunteers came out early in the week to act as injured bystanders, hostages, and oppositional forces (OPFOR). (U.S. Space Force photo by Jose Hernandez).
