HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Airmen from the 388th Fighter Wing will sharpen their agile combat employment and readiness capabilities during an exercise here next week.
The exercise, which has been in the planning stages for months, will mirror similar off-station exercises, like Agile Flag and Bamboo Eagle, but will take place at Hill AFB and airfields in the region.
Tooele County and Wendover residents will notice increased aircraft activity and military presence. No disruptions to local services are expected.
The exercise will also include night flying, with operations scheduled to be completed by midnight most days. Exact days and times may vary based on factors including weather, airspace availability on the Utah Test and Training Range, and other support elements.
During the exercise, a main force will operate and fly from Hill AFB, while smaller teams of Mission Ready Airmen will disperse to contingency locations and operate there.
The 388th Fighter Wing has been preparing for and training to different forms of agile combat employment operations for years. As Mission Ready Airmen and Ready Airmen Training become standardized across the Air Force, the wing’s exercises continue to expand to meet those requirements.
