The Air Force began its three-week long Red Flag 16-3 exercise on July 11, 2016 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

Red Flag 16-3 is a US-only exercise that will test all participating units’ combat capabilities in a joint environment that centers on multi-domain integration.

Red Flag is the service’s premier air-to-air combat training exercise and one of a series of advanced training programs that is administered by the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center and executed through the 414th Combat Training Squadron. Previous Red Flag exercises have provided experiences to master the air domain, but todays’ flags must incorporate all domains.
