Airmen from Creech Air Force Base showcased their skills during the 1st Quarter Load Crew Competition, held on April 25, 2025. Three-person maintenance loading teams competed in a friendly, fast-paced, mission-focused environment, racing against the clock to load inert munitions onto MQ-9 Reaper aircraft. The event emphasized not only speed, but also safety, teamwork, and precision, key qualities for real-world mission success. These competitions enhance mission readiness by sharpening technical skills in a controlled setting while promoting camaraderie and boosting morale across the remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) maintenance community.

The 25th Attack Group is modernizing its training capabilities with a simulation platform that replicates combat scenarios in a virtual airspace called Distributed Mission Operations. The DMO network enables the 25th ATKG and its geographically separated units to operate in the same virtual airspace as fighter aircraft, command and control assets, and any other participating Combat Air Forces assets.
