Building Readiness. 🛠

Airmen from the 149th Fighter Wing's Civil Engineer Squadron are putting their construction skills to work at Camp Murray, Washington, to build a new fitness center to support the health and readiness for the @wanationalguard for years to come.

The project is part of a National Guard Deployment for Training to ensure assigned Airmen have the skills they need for overseas assignments while supporting important projects.

Whether responding to emergencies at home or supporting missions across the country, these engineers deliver the infrastructure to keep the force fit to fight.

Part 3!

Instructors from our 203rd Ground Combat Training Squadron led the 149th leadership team and other members through a pistol-handling refresher and qualification course of fire.

Readiness is a team effort. Though we operate in different domains, we share the same mission. Together, we deliver combat capability from the ground to the skies. #hometownunit #gunfighters #F16 #FlyFightWin #UncompromisedExcellence by @149fw
