Shaw leads the way with MCA

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Michael Garrison, 20th Security Forces Squadron weapons and tactics chief and Multi-Capable Airman (MCA) training cadre, instructs a group of Airmen on MCA fundamentals at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Oct. 17, 2023. The MCA course provided 20th Fighter Wing Airmen of various ranks from career fields such as Maintenance, Civil Engineering and Administrative services, a thorough training in support of the Agile Combat Employment model. This training is necessary as the Air Force moves toward employing smaller teams that are able to perform a wider range of duties with limited resources.
