Senior Airman Alec Ramirez, 39th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, and his MWD partner Ccura wait to board a U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk during a joint K-9 helicopter training mission at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, Sept. 13, 2021. During the mission, MWD handlers conducted medical evacuations on simulated K-9 casualties and other mission-specific tasks required for real-world operations. This interservice training with the Army enabled them to acclimate their K-9s to helicopter operations under combat conditions. The Army unit, Task Force Black Cat, ensures the mobility of the joint warfighter in support of U.S. European Command and U.S. Central Command missions throughout Turkey and the wider region. Task Force Black Cat is one of many tenant units that partner with the 39th Air Base Wing to promote security and stability in the region. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jacob Derry)
