3 articles · Updated · DVIDS · Jun 8

Summary

  • June 1 drills at Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center had 123rd Air Control Squadron airmen setting up generators as part of a field exercise.
  • The training focused on Agile Combat Employment, an Air Force-wide operating concept built to project combat power anytime and anywhere while staying operationally unpredictable.
  • That unpredictability is intended to complicate an adversary's decision-making, making dispersed field tasks such as power setup part of broader combat-readiness preparation.
  • The image documenting the exercise was posted June 7 from Alpena, Michigan, underscoring continued emphasis on expeditionary readiness in Air National Guard training.
