Kids understanding deployment operations
Staff Sgt. Justin Gooding, a military working dog handler with the 1st Special Operations Security Force Squadron, with his military working dog, Eella, demonstrate a potential, real-world situation to children during Operation Kids Understanding Deployment Operations at Hurlburt Field, Fla., April 30, 2016. Operation KUDOS is an educational event aimed to help build resiliency in military youth by engaging them in activities that simulate the pre-deployment experience, such as pre-deployment lines and demonstrations and games held by multiple squadrons around Hurlburt. The event concluded with a “homecoming” where parents welcomed back their children. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Meagan Schutter)
