Uruguayan Armed Forces train with reservists

According to Air Force website, "Ten members of the Uruguayan armed forces visited Air Force Reserve Command's 920th Rescue Wing here Aug. 29 through Sept. 2 to get hands-on rescue orientation and training." The soldiers are being trained for search and rescue missions, because of the conflict there. They will be trained in the techniques that our own Air Force uses. The whole training started in Florida, and now the trainees have jumped from C-130's. Right now the reserve soldiers are still there training new people.

I chose this article because I have an interest in the military. Since they came to us it is nice that we helped them, and it is good deed to show our military knowledge to other places in the world. It is good for relations between our two countries. Some our soldiers will get to travel to Uruguay after this training. I am impressed they chose our military instead of anywhere else.
