18 U.S. service members attached to Joint Task Force-Bravo, Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras, conducted the second iteration of overwater survival training at Puerto Castilla and Trujillo Bay, Honduras, from April 16-23, 2021.
The training exercise consisted of a safe and deliberate approach to getting service members confident in their abilities to respond in the event of an overwater emergency, such as a downed aircraft or a recovery mission in open water.
“Everyone started out with the basic techniques which allowed us to roll right into real iterations - more than we have ever been able to in the past,” said U.S. Army Capt. Gabriel Beck, OIC of training and the commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment Bravo Company.
