Sgt. Benjamin Wilson, the training team sergeant, in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2018\/08\/26\/national-guard-troops-may-see-even-more-missions-in-south-america-following-mattis-trip-to-the-region\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-25-at-20.22.17.png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">National Guard troops may see even more missions in South America following Mattis trip to the region<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The National Guard is playing a pivotal role in Defense Secretary Jim Mattis&#039; strategy to cultivate allies, particularly those in South America \u2014 where he just returned from a trip to evaluate the United States&#039; military relationship with Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Colombia.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Paraguayan airman, Sargento Primero Alexis Araujo, explained how this training expanded their existing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis training was really good and something new for us,\u201d Araujo said. \u201cWe learned new things, especially the rappelling and new ways to create an anchor point. The Stokes litter was also a very good piece of equipment we hadn\u2019t seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff Sgt. Cory Ridenour served as the lead instructor for the rope rescue course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI learned that I may find myself training people who don\u2019t always have the same access to equipment as we do in the U.S. Air Force,\u201d Ridenour said. \u201cOur team focused on teaching these students safe ways to rescue people with a high angle ropes system that is very minimal and lightweight.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis was my focus because we could not leave them with a ton of gear to use, but instead we left them with knowledge on using what they had, and knowledge is the lightest backpack they will ever carry,\u201d Ridenour added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 571st Mobility Support Advisory Squadron was also able to use this training to prepare one of their own fire protection personnel for future twin tension systems training missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile rope rescue is a key responsibility for fire fighters, the twin tension system was new for this individual and attending this training enabled him to become familiar and increase the number of instructors from the unit qualified to teach it,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training mission, which was accomplished at four different locations throughout Paraguay, required extensive coordination by the Paraguayan Air Force liaison officer, Maj. Mario Adorno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was an amazing experience and beneficial, as we now have 11 personnel capable of fulfilling the search and rescue mission,\u201d Adorno said. \u201cWe look forward to future training and plan to ask for this course again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like all international training missions, the exercise also offered the opportunity for airmen to build personal and professional relationships with service members from another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was important to build a strong relationship between the Paraguayan rescue community and ours to provide the same standard of care in case of any rescue operations or humanitarian missions,\u201d said Tech. Sgt. Giacomo Zignago, an Air Force medical air adviser. \u201cDuring this training the students proved that they were professional, willing to learn and excited to put their new knowledge into practice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 571st Mobility Support Advisory Squadron conducted a mobile training team mission with the Paraguayan air force, or FAP, in
