1,200 military members take part in Red Flag 10-2

 
KADENA AIR BASE, Japan:  Nearly 1,300 servicemembers, more than 80 aircraft and 
19 units from the U.S. and England converged for the start of Red Flag 10-2 
Jan. 25, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

The exercise is the largest, full-scale integration exercise in the world and 
prepares warfighters for real-world combat by pitting them against the 
fictional country of Coyote.

"Our Kadena (Air Base) Airmen will experience the most realistic combat 
scenarios in the world with joint forces engaging in essential training 
required prior to employing in a contingency," said Lt. Col. Matthew Molineux, 
the 18th Operations Group deputy commander. "Red Flag pits our (Airmen) against 
the best opposing forces in the world."

Large-scale integration involves more than aircraft flying, fighting and 
winning. It involves all aspects of combat, on the ground and in the air. 
....
The exercise doesn't just include a team forming an air expeditionary wing and 
going through the motions. Those here as a part of Red Flag deal with an 
aggressor force. 

Known as the red force, aggressors are trained to challenge Red Flag 
participants on all aspects of war and serve as enemy pilots, space jammers, 
cyberspace infiltrators, and even dig through trash on occasion to challenge 
their counterparts.

Practicing smart operations security prepares Red Flag warriors for a different 
aspect of warfighting.
....
At Red Flag, Kadena AB Airmen will hone their combat flying skills required to 
provide for the common defense of Okinawa: a primary mission for the 18th Wing, 
the deputy commander said.
