The 2nd Infantry Brigade practices seizing and holding a town at Camp Red Devil in Fort Carson, on Sunday, Sept. 24, 2017. The brigade is preparing for a larger training rotation in Fort Polk, Louisiana next month and a potential deployment to Afghanistan in 2018.

The Pikes Peak Regional Airshow brought a crowd of hundreds to the airport to watch new and classic planes fly, and explore booths and vendors, on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017. After several hours rain canceled the remaining flights and closed the airshow tarmac.

Hazardous Materials team firefighters from Colorado Springs Fire Department and Fort Carson Fire Department run drills on responding to highway emergencies involving a damaged tanker. The drill was part of a longer course run by Signet North America for the teams to enhance their highway responses.

Children with special needs and their families were given a chance to see the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow without the dense crowds at the High Flight event. Students from around the region were invited to come during the practice day before the airshow weekend. About 400 people attended, including the children and their families.
