3..2..1..pull!

Members of the 101st Force Support Squadron got after it bright and early Monday morning of Home Station Training Week, assembling two small shelter systems (Triple S).

The systems are designed to last upwards of twenty years when assembled properly, and can be equipped with heating and cooling, kitchens, and more!

Well done, FSS!
