West Bend Unit Holds Emergency Services Training

Written by Maj Joe Hackett

Wednesday, 19 November 2008

West Bend, WI - Nine members of the 461st Composite Squadron participated in emergency services training on a cold and blustery Sunday on November 16, 2008. The event took place at Camp Long Lake, a Boy Scout property, located in the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest. Cadets and seniors used a 14 way point orienteering course laid over five miles of the 270-acre camp to hone their map reading, compass, and land navigation skills. Basic radio communications were also practiced as each team checked in via radio as they found a way point.

The use of the Camp Long Lake Property was arranged through the cooperation of the Boy Scouts camp Ranger Shorty Zimdars and Major Joe Hackett the 461st Composite Squadron ES training officer and former camp ranger.
