Concrete begins to cure on the boots of U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Ryan Williams, 773d Civil Engineer Squadron, after a Rapid Airfield Damage Repair training exercise at Gwangju Air Base, Republic of Korea., Nov. 9, 2017. U.S. and R.O.K. Airmen trained together for a week to learn the new RADR process, preparing them for response to wartime contingencies, enhancing interoperability and building partnership capacity in the Indo-Asia Pacific region. The civil engineers teamed up to complete an airfield damage repair exercise on a mock airstrip with multiple craters, testing the team's ability to restore a runway to operational status as quickly as possible.
