PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The Civil Air Patrol’s South Dakota Wing is conducting a search and rescue training exercise in Pierre.

The training exercise scheduled for Saturday focuses in training aircrews, ground search teams and the command staff to react to a simulated emergency situation. The incident command post for the training exercise has been set up at the Mustang Aviation Facility at the Pierre Regional Airport.

Four of the Wing’s five aircraft and several vehicles are being used in the exercise. Twenty-four officers and 14 cadets are participating.

The patrol says the training allows participants to experience “real-world activity.”
