RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany --  The fly-away security teams are designed to fly into unsecured or nontraditional flightlines and ensure security for the aircraft and its crew members. The five-day course teaches security forces Airmen a variety of skills including verbal judo, airfield surveying, cross-culture awareness and combative techniques. The trainees were also taught weapons retention and take away, where they learned how to properly disarm someone who has a knife, baton, pistol or AK-47 assault rifle. Airmen from throughout U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa come to Pulaski Barracks to prepare themselves for hostile situations no matter where they go.
