We have a great issue of news and features for you, starting with our cover story which looks at D-M’s 55th Rescue Squadron combat readiness training. “Having the skill set to be able to defend ourselves and remain survivable is important so we are not rendered as an easy target,” says Capt. Mark Ross, 55th RQS HH-60 pilot. Click on the link below to get a closer look at the HH-60 Pave Hawk that supports the 55th RQS mission, and read the full story in your online copy of Desert Lightning News.
