DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. --  Students of the Air Force Reserve Command Expeditionary Combat Support Training Certification Center completed a one-week extensive course in topics such as electrical systems, crane operations and readiness management here July 24.

The 10 students were made up of active-duty, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard personnel.  The class was taught by Senior Master Sgt. Steven Gilreath and Tech. Sgt. James Orr of the AFRC ECS-TCC.  The highlight of the course for many was the heavy crane operations, which tested their skills at manuevering the crane through a series of cones.

The training center allows students to complete five and seven level upgrades, task certification and recertification as well as Pre-Silver Flag training on reportable tasks and preparations for Operational Readiness Inspections. The students received their graduation certificates at a ceremony held at the training center July 24.
