During this time, Anthony, along with two other individuals, organized and instituted the very first Fly Away Security Forces Training Center. This is the first time this has happened in United States Air Force Europe history. This was a mentally and physically intense week long course that varied from Verbal Judo and Martial Arts training, to Flight Deck Denial scenarios.
