Save the date. Join us for our March meeting presented by the 435th Construction and Training Squadron (435th CTS). For the last 75 years, the 435th CTS has undertaken a multitude of construction projects spanning Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. Handling everything in-house, from initial planning and design, to sourcing materials, maintaining construction equipment, and deploying resources to remote project sites; this unit has built airfields and completed airfield markings using its own dedicated personnel and equipment. The squadron also has a team of instructors that have provided contingency skills training to thousands of combat support Airmen across the total force on how to operate in a contingency environment plus is has an aircraft arresting system depot, to overhaul BAK-12 systems for USAFE main operating bases, ensuring safety of flight in this theater in support of named exercises, emergencies, and real-world contingencies.

Airmen assigned to the 435th Construction and Training Squadron participate in training for the new Rapid Airfield Damage Repair technique on Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Feb. 20, 2017. The RADR technique makes it possible for teams to repair 120 craters in six-and-a-half hours with 3,000 aircraft passes, which provides a ten-time increase in crater amount and 300-time increase in passes allowed over the current method.
