The 68th Rescue Flight recently implemented the Combat Leaders Course, a 65-day course for 10 pararescuemen in which they develop their leadership abilities while obtaining their 7-level certification. The 68th RQF created the course to provide the Air Force with a center of excellence that is solely dedicated to supporting the Guardian Angel weapon system's training and operational requirements. Students plan their missions and executed a multitude of scenarios, including a jump mission with an overland movement, a mass casualty, and a technical rescue with the rotary wing exfiltration. Peer performance feedbacks and intelligence briefings are included as well.
