SPP at the Range

Lt. Col. John Stevenson, 140th Operation Support Squadron Airburst Range commander (left center) Stevens, Capt. Perry Read (center) and Slovenian armed Forces Sgt. 1st Class Darko Roth (right center) discuss training range management and how the Colorado Airmen manufacture their own training assets, such as targets, during a State Partnership Program visit to the 140th Operations Squadron's Airburst Range at Fort Carson, Colo., Oct. 31, 2012. The CONG and the Republic of Slovenia have been partner nations since 1993, when the program began. In addition to many other milestones in the program, Citizen-Soldiers from the CONG and soldiers from Slovenia have deployed together many times as members of the Operational Mentor Liaison Teams, now called Military Assistance Teams, to help train soldiers of the Afghan National Army.
