Surviving on the island

MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan -- Brig. Gen. Dana T. Atkins collects his gear during survival training at Camp Defender here last week. Pilots go through the training to build upon and reinforce what they were taught during Combat Survival Training at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. Survival trainees must provide for their own food and water, evade capture and communicate as they would if they had to eject from their aircraft into hostile territory. The training is mandatory for pilots every two years. General Atkins is the 35th Fighter Wing and Misawa Air Base installation commander. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Andrew Rodier)
