Senior Airman Kevin Isaac, aircraft armament systems specialist, loads chaff on an F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft during the Red Flag 17-2 exercise. Chaff is a munition designed to help aircraft defend against radar threats. The Red Flag exercise is a realistic combat training exercise involving the air forces of the United States, its allies, and coalition partners, and is conducted on the vast gunnery ranges of the 2.9 million acre Nevada Test and Training Range, a primary training area associated with Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The exercise brings in more than 100 aircraft and 3,000 personnel with the goal of preparing commanders and service members, at all levels, for war in a realistic training scenario.
