BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. --

Reserve Citizen Airmen trained hard during the month of April. The 307th Civil Engineer Squadron held a four-day unit training assembly, taking part in a bivouac and advanced tactics. The 307th Medical Squadron performed its first-ever Ready EAGLE exercise working closely with the 2nd Medical Group in a total force integration effort. Despite all the training, the Long Rangers still took time to recognize the efforts of their annual award winners and take part in Sexual Assault Prevention month.
