Marine Responders Fitness Test
51st Fighter Wing
Video by Staff Sgt. D.J. Ayres
April 2, 2015 | 2:20
Protective gear for dealing with chemical and biological agents is bulky and not the easiest to breathe or move in. Now think about performing a fitness test in this kind of gear. SSgt D.J. Ayres takes us to Osan AB, Republic of Korea where Airmen and Marines push themselves to the limit. (Airmen and Marines from several organizations to include; 51 CE Emergency Management, Bio-Environmental, Firefighters and Marine CBRN from Okinawa compete in a fitness test wearing full level B chemical protection gear.) Includes sound bites from SSgt Eva Gaus, 51 FW Emergency Management and Cpl. Craig Antwine 1 MAW CBRN Specialist. Also available in high definition. More
