A group of airmen from the Royal Malaysia Air Force were in the United States last month to receive training on how to operate and maintain the TPS-75, 77 and 78 radar from the Western Air Defense Sector.

The Western Air Defense Sector hosts twelve members of the Royal Malaysian Air Force as part of a subject matter exchange entailing hands-on training at a radar site at Camp Rilea, Oregon, Aug. 27, 2021.
