Ruck March honors Defenders
Staff Sgt. Manuel Rodriguez, 412th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, and Schmykel, 412th SFS military working dog, were one of many 412th SFS members who took part in their squadron’s Ruck March to honor all fallen Defenders who have served on Mar. 4. The ruck march took participants through 11.5 miles of steep and rocky, desert terrain that began at the Combat Arms Training and Maintenance building and ended atop the mountain with the communications tower near the edge of Rosamond, Calif. and perpendicular to the west Edwards AFB sign.
