WATCH: 106th Conducts Live Rescue Training

Live training was part of AIr Force Week.

Just over a week ago, the 106th Rescue Wing of the Air National Guard conducted a live training session on the Hudson River.

As hurricane season comes upon us - Tropical Storm Irene was one year ago - the rescue unit simulated a swimmer in distress in the New York City waters. The 106th collaborated with units from 101st and 103rd Rescue Squadrons in the drill as well.

The training came as part of Air Force Week, a program that included several flyovers and educated the public about the Air Force.
