    Photo Essay: Meet Jojo, the 432nd Security Forces Squadron newest military working dog. Jojo is Creech AFB’s newest MWD, with two months on station and previously worked as a U.S. Marine Corps MWD before crossing into the Air Force. MWDs are trained to only listen to commands from their handlers and go through intense obedience training in order to operate under stressful situations. Constant training builds a close bond between working dogs and their handlers, allowing them to work efficiently together to protect the base. The dogs are put through tough-but-fair training to ensure they can accomplish their duties, and rewarded by their handlers once the job is done.

    Bulls celebrate 75 years of aviation excellence

    For the past 75 years, the 17th Attack Squadron Bulls have played an integral part in the defense of the nation by providing combatant commanders with reconnaissance capabilities, and more recently, with precision attack capabilities. On July 23, 1942, in the midst of World War II, the 17th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron activated, and was tasked with flying the P-38 Lightning and B-25 Mitchell over the Pacific Theater, to observe and map enemy movements. After the war, the 17th transitioned to aircraft such as the RF-84 Thunderflash, the RF-101 Voodoo, and the RF-80 Shooting Star. In 1958, the squadron realigned under the 432nd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, now known as the 432nd Wing.
