St. Michaels Association for Special Education Innovative Readiness Training Program

Members of the 203rd Red Horse Squadron, Virginia Beach Va., re-shingle a maintenance building at St. Michaels Association for Special Education school in Window Rock, Ariz., on May 16, 2010. The Red Horse team along with the 240th Civil Engineering Flight, 140th Wing, Aurora, Colo., are at St. Michaels preparing to break ground on new facilities across the campus. The effort to upgrade the complex for special needs children and adults is part of the Innovative Readiness Training program, a civil-military affairs program that links military units with civilian communities for humanitarian projects. Throughout the next five years several Civil Engineering teams across the Air National Guard will rotate every two weeks to help this under-privileged school. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
