Attendees received a wing mission brief and had the opportunity to interact with U.S. Air Force Col. Jason Gerber, 17th Training Group commander.<br \/>\nFollowing lunch, they then traveled to the 17th Security Forces military working dog pavilion, where participants observed a live demonstration showcasing the training, discipline and operational capabilities of the military working dogs.<br \/>\nThe immersion continued at the 312th Training Squadron Louis F. Garland Fire Academy, where the LSA class learned how joint-service firefighters are trained to deliver rapid, lifesaving response in support of Department of War operations worldwide.<br \/>\nLSA later arrived at the Instructional Technology Unit, receiving an overview of how modern instructional tools and training innovations enhance learning outcomes and support mission readiness across Goodfellow\u2019s technical training pipeline.<br \/>\nThe day concluded with a class mixer at the Powell Event Center, bringing together LSA participants, current and former honorary commanders and 17th Training Wing members to foster dialogue and reinforce the enduring partnership between the base and the local community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 17th Training Wing welcomed members from Leadership San Angelo (LSA) for an immersion at Goodfellow Air Force&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-403557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
