Ryan Eads, with the 552nd ACW’s Inspector General’s office; and Paul Logan, with the 72nd Air Base Wing Inspector General’s office, talk to 72nd Security Forces Squadron’s 1st Lt. Justin Clouser about the Aug. 11 exercise they all had a part in. The scenario for the exercise was an active shooter/anti-hijacking exercise that helped inspect various units on Tinker Air Force Base. The IG offices create various scenarios throughout the year to ensure first responders, medics and other essential personnel know correct protocol and procedures if a real-world event should ever occur.
