U.S. Air National Guard Civil Engineers gather around a tactical vehicle during combat vehicle training at Patriot Forge II at Ft. Devens Army Reserve Training Area, Massachusetts, Aug. 11, 2026. During the exercise, Airmen demonstrated proficiency in basic expeditionary skills, ground combat skills, combat vehicle operations, land navigation, and integrated base defense. The exercise served as training to support and enable Agile Combat Employment (ACE) and the skills needed to generate distributed airpower in a near-peer contested environment.
