Taking a more Hawkins said, "We are not so concerned about winning, we're just determined not to lose." Likewise, the Australian general overseeing the RAAF team said a lot of important issues will come out in the challenge. "This encourages people to work harder at their fitness and skills and so forth, and to be part of the team feeling," said Air Commodore Errol J.

A four-mateam from the Air Force Logistics Command and the Air Force Systems Command ran, climbed, jumped and crawled their way to a e victory in the physical fitness competition. The Tactical Air Command team came in second and the team representing the Royal Air Force took third. Competitions like Peacekeeper Challenge are about "showing ourselves how good we are, but also sending a message to our potential adversaries that we are ready," said Brig. Gen. Frank K. Martin, Air Force chief of security police. In opening the five-da- y event, Martin said that scores from the competition just five years ago wouldn't "even make the grade today." The lonesome desert that surrounds Kirtland arid range country with vistas has become the quintessential landscape for the contest that began in 1981. It has been held every year since except in 1990 when it was canceled due to the Persian Gulf crisis. Featured in this year's event are 13 teams from throughout the Air Force as well as teams from England and Australia. This is the Royal Australian Air Force's first time in the competition. During the past 10 years, England's RAF regiment has been a steady participant, a fact that its leader says is a "must" in light of the gulf war and threats facing security forces light-hearte- d n first-plac- ton. "If we ever have to go to war again we certainly will be operating together again it's important that we train together in this sort of activity so that when we operate together in wartime, we will know each other's operation backwards and forwards," Walker said. Australia's squad arrived at the competition from Little Rock AFB, Ark., where they were the guests of the Military Airlift Command security 10-ma- n horizon-to-horizo- n ever-changin- police team. "We got the opportunity to train at the Volant Scorpion training camp to get us used to the conditions we would face," Pilot Officer Simon Sauer, RAAF team captain, said. Sauer said he believes the two weeks at Little Rock prepared his team for the Peacekeeper events but did not compensate for the local Albuquerque altitude, roughly 5,000 feet above sea level. "The landscape here is much like Australia, a lot of sun and sky," Sauer said. "But catching one's breath is something we've tried to get used to." Peacekeeper Challenge continues through Saturday with 150 security members vying for gold, silver and bronze medals in seven events, including g worldwide.
