100th CES simulate repair of damaged runway during CBRNE exercise

Two compact track loaders are used by Airmen from the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron to cut concrete during a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives exercise at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Aug. 17, 2022. The Airmen used a variety of equipment including excavators and loaders to practice removing damaged concrete and base course on a simulated runway. They practiced repair, break up and removal of concrete, before mixing and pouring new, quick-drying concrete and levelling it, all while wearing mission-oriented protective postures gear.
