Pen-wide FTX keeps 6-52 Soldiers sharp

SUWON AIR BASE – They might have been sleep-deprived and drenched in mud and sweat, but Soldiers from the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Battalion concluded a week-long field training exercise with a renewed sense of pride and confidence in their equipment, their comrades-in-arms, and most importantly themselves, officials said.
The comprehensive air defense artillery field training exercise, which took place from May 2-6 across the Peninsula, put to test the air defenders’ ability to not only fulfill their primary mission of protecting the sky over South Korea, but also to execute combined force protection and logistic resupply missions with their adjacent U.S. and Republic of Korea units on the battlefield.
The exercise included realistic scenarios that prepared the Iron Horse Soldiers mentally and physically to fight, survive, and prevail if engaged in a prolonged armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula.
On Suwon Air Base, Pfc. Harley Farnsworth and the rest of his crew from B Battery, 6-52 Air Defense Artillery Battalion, received the order to reload one of the PATRIOT launching stations. The crews immediately dashed toward the launcher, their ballistic armor plates heavy upon them as they went through the steps to reload the spent canister utilizing the guided missile transport.
Farnsworth and his crew understood perfectly well that tens of thousands of innocent lives depend on whether they can successfully accomplish their missions in a timely manner.
“We are the ones who keep the air battle going and the missiles firing,” said Farnsworth.
His crews successfully passed the missile reload evaluation during the exercise.
Just as the missile reload evaluation was winding down, a few miles down the road, another group of Soldiers were being tested on their skill to conduct aerial missile resupply missions.
Near the Suwon Air Base flight line, Soldiers from Alpha Company, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion, along with personnel from Foxtrot Company, 6-52 Air Defense Artillery Battalion, eagerly awaited the arrival of the CH-47D flying in from USAG Humphreys.
The helicopter, assigned to 3-2 General Support Aviation Battalion (GSAB), will be slinging PATRIOT missile canisters across treacherous terrain to a distant firing unit running dangerously low on ammunition.
“This training [aerial resupply] validates the battalion’s ability to coordinate for air support from 3-2 GSAB and resupply its fire units even during degraded road condition” said, 1st Lt. Stephen Bonner of Foxtrot Company, 6-52 ADA Battalion and one of the primary coordinators for the sling load operation. “The more times we do training such as this, the more comfortable we will be when we have to conduct aerial resupply missions during wartime,” he added.
Aside from air defense operations, the exercise also challenged U.S. as well as ROK Soldiers and Airmen stationed at Suwon Air Base on their ability to conduct combined base defense and force protection operations.
Deep within Republic of Korea’s 10th Tactical Fighter Wing Command and Control bunker, the U.S. liaison officer was notified that a simulated breach was detected near one of 6-52nd Air Defense Artillery Battalion’s facilities.
Within minutes, two Republic of Korea Air Force K200 infantry fighting vehicles loaded with ROK soldiers arrived at the site of the potential infiltration.
Staff Sgt. James Forst, assigned to Foxtrot Company, 6-52 Air Defense Artillery Battalion, with the help of an interpreter explained the unfolding situation to the ROK security forces, as forces from both nations began pulling security around the breach and executed a combined cordon and search operation.
Forst, a New York native and the NCOIC in charge of Fox Company’s quick reaction force, said he thought that “the training was a great opportunity for U.S. Soldiers to learn how to work with their ROK counterparts.”
Republic of Korea Air Force Maj. Kang Bong-Suk, the chief of Suwon Airbase Ground Operation Center, who observed the training, also shared similar sentiment.
The exercise concluded with a combined chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear, (known as CBRN) decontamination operation of personnel and vehicles.
Bravo Battery, 6-52 Air Defense Artillery Battalion, was called upon to conduct operational decontamination for a U.S. unit as well as a ROK unit returning to Suwon Air Base from a possibly CBRN contaminated area.
As rows of U.S. and ROK Soldiers and Airmen passed through the decontamination stations and began protective gear exchange, the similarities between the gear and procedures of the two allied nations helped to alleviate the communication barrier between the two nations.
Sgt. Michael Camp, one of the primary trainers for the decontamination exercise said, “The intent of the operation is to familiarize both parties involved of each other’s gear, equipment, and tactics, techniques, and procedures.”
“This type of training is very beneficial because there is always a good chance that we might be called upon to decontaminate our ROK counterparts here at Suwon or vice versa,” Camp said.
“I think the Iron Horse Battalion has once again proved its ability to successfully conduct air and missile defense operation.” Said, Maj. Frederick Ramirez, the 6-52 ADA Battalion Operations Officer-in-Charge, “however, I think the most significant improvement we have witnessed this week is the increased level and proficiency in the coordination and cooperation between our battalion and the ROKAF 10th Fighter Wing in executing combined force protection measures.
