Exercise Tanuki Bandit 24 was a five-day field training exercise consisting of various scenarios an EOD technician may experience downrange. During the exercise, participants worked alongside various agencies from the 35th Fighter Wing, such as the Logistics Readiness Squadron, Security Forces Squadron, Fire Department, Agile Combat Employment Office, Medical Group, and Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape specialists.

“The exercise was held entirely at Draughon Range, a premier air-to-ground training site. It simulated living and performing EOD duties in austere environments, challenging participants to leverage their Multi-Capable Airmen skills and employ Agile Combat Employment concepts with limited support and supplies.”
