Decommissioned F-15 prepares for final journey to the "Boneyard"

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 402nd Aircraft Maintenance Group prepare a decommissioned F-15C Eagle assigned to the 125th Fighter Wing for shipment to the "Boneyard" during a TDY to Jacksonville Air National Guard Base, Florida, Jan. 29, 2024. The 402nd AMXG provides Programmed Depot Maintenance for the F-15 airframe and is responsible for the repair, modification, reclamation and rework of more than 200 aircraft worldwide. This departure will represent another step in the 125th Fighter Wing's divesture of the F-15C Eagle airframe as it prepares to receive the first batch of F-35 Lightning II aircraft in early 2025. The arrival of the F-35 will equip the wing with the Air Force's most sophisticated fifth-generation fighter, will posture Airmen to meet air superiority and global strike needs for our nation's defense, and will mark the end of the wing's 30-year era flying F-15 fighter jets. Conversion training and infrastructure changes are currently underway to prepare Airmen for the change in mission. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.

CERFP External Evaluation

U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Matthew Sands, 125th Medical Detachment commander and Chief Master Sgt. Thomas Katt, 125th Medical Group senior enlisted leader, pictured during a CERFP External Evaluation, Sept. 22, 2023 at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, Florida. The CERFP, or CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package, includes more than 200 Soldiers and Airmen from many Air and Army units who form one CERFP unit in the wake of a catastrophe. CERFP units comprise five major elements including command and control, search and extraction, decontamination, medical support, and fatality search and recovery in which teams are evaluated on their ability to immediately respond to a CBRNE incident. During the exercise, teams conducted a site search of collapsed buildings and structures, performed rescue tasks to extract trapped casualties, facilitated mass decontamination measures, performed medical triage and initial treatment to stabilize patients for transport to medical facilities, and recovered CBRN incident fatalities. Each element — CBRN, medics, decontamination, search and extraction, and FSRT (fatality, search and recovery team) — was evaluated as part of the total force response.
