For the first time in Red Flag’s nearly 40-year history, the Cyber Mission Force construct was used in conjunction with kinetic Air Force forces.
Red Flag, an Air Combat Command-sponsored exercise held four times annually at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., combines a series of complex scenarios and a robust simulated Integrated Air Defense Systems which challenge exercise participants to collaboratively plan and execute missions in support of operational and tactical objectives, according to Mr. Michael Connolly, Director of Operations, 90th Information Operations Squadron.
