U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Cole Durand, a 3rd Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape specialist out of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, gives direction to Airmen from the 3rd Air Expeditionary Wing on using bamboo to build a shelter during Exercise Agile Reaper 24-1 at Tinian Forward Operating Site, Northern Mariana Islands, April 9, 2024. The expeditious build-up of the Tinian FOS was made possible through the employment of the Air Force concept of Mission-Ready Airmen. MRA optimizes wartime operational mission generation through Airmen working side-by-side with Airmen outside their Air Force Specialty Code and applying those core skills when needed, in order to make the mission happen. In a wartime environment, ensuring redundancies with Airmen understanding and being able to act outside their core specialty will increase the survivability and effectiveness of forces in the Pacific.
