Our Airman can’t serve without support from amazing employers. Thank you the Storm Lake PD and all the employers of IA Air and Army National Guard members!

[Chris Cole @ccole815]

It's an honor for the Storm Lake PD to be a finalist for the #SecDefFreedomAward. We're proud our SLPD staff members present and past who serve in the National Guard and Reserves.

Home of the free, because of the brave.

Here is some more on @185ARW Defenders training for the Defender Challenge.

The training introduced the Airmen who compose the @AirNatlGuard ’s team to each other as they trained on skills while identifying their strengths and learning to work together as a team. https://t.co/mu5NwfZhzi

Defenders from the 185th Security Forces are preparing for the Defender Challenge. The pic in the upper left is our Airmen! Knowing the quality of Airmen in the @AirNatlGuard, they’ve got their work cut out for them.

We're honored to host the #AirNationalGuard Defender Challenge team to train at Fort Chaffee.
Defender Challenge is an Air Force-wide competition among #SecurityForces Airmen in a range of skills used in their career field. Good luck to our #ANG team in the big show this spring!

@Levi_ThePilot @NENationalGuard @NENationalGuard shared the love and let us play in their yard. It was like Christmas, 4th of July, and News Years Eve for our Husker Alum crew.
