Three Airmen from the 188th Operations Group recently participated in a 10-day high-tech, virtual combat exercise alongside personnel from the Air National Guard, active-duty Air Force, Army, Marines, U.S. Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, and Royal Australian Navy.
The collaborative exercise lasted 15 days and focused on deterring and defeating near-peer adversaries in a simulated environment, strengthening joint and coalition partnerships by refining chain of command procedures, rules of engagement (ROE), doctrine, and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) across services and nations.
The 184th Attack Squadron (184 ATKS), under the 188th Operations Group, was tasked with providing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Dynamic Targeting (DT) support against simulated enemy ships and aircraft to shape the battlespace and neutralize threats.
