Maher: The skills we learn here, they're perishable.
If you don't train them in a realistic environment.
The state-of-the-art keeps changing and improving.
There's new techniques, new equipment comes into play.
And here at the National Training Center
there's subject matter experts that keep abreast of those developments.
And so, not only is it an opportunity for us to practice,
it's an opportunity for us to see what
we can use to make ourselves safer, more effective.
