 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army now." In order to maintain the ability to protect the Korean Peninsula from enemy aircraft, Air Defense Soldiers constantly train on and maintain their equipment. It's critical for our readiness here because if all we did is come here with our knowledge from AIT and we didn't do any training, those skills, they get rusty if you don't use them, you know, on a regular basis. The unit does this in a number of ways. The most exciting is their yearly Stinger competition. The purpose of the Stinger competition is to basically show off your skills and in a way perfect your skills as an air defender. Preparation for this event includes up and downloading weapons, firing missiles manually, and visual aircraft recognition. It not only prepares them for the competition, but for real-life scenarios.
