Airmen train for Ranger course

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Airman 1st Class Vicente Mattocks, left, 606th Air Control Squadron; and Senior Airman Coty Raphael, 52nd Medical Operations Squadron, advance on the enemy in a field next to Perimeter Road here during the patrolling training portion of the Ranger training course March 3. Any male Airman can volunteer for the annual training if they are serious about becoming a U.S. Army Ranger and their chain of command allows him to participate. The required three-day course prepares Airmen for what they will be tested on during the Ranger training school at U.S. Army Fort Benning, Ga. Out of the five Airmen enrolled in the training, Senior Airman Sean Reval, 52nd Security Forces Squadron, and Senior Airman Coty Raphael, 52nd Medical Operations Squadron, were the only participants to qualify to continue on to Ranger pre-assessment training at Sembach Air Base, Germany.
