Exercise NORE is a critical readiness exercise designed to test the Utah Air National Guard’s ability to respond to various operational challenges, including crisis management, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense, and total force integration. Additionally, this exercise will focus on preparedness and response to potential threats posed by near-peer adversaries in the context of the Global Power Competition (GPC). This exercise highlights the UTANG’s commitment to maintaining mission readiness and contributing to state and national defense priorities in an increasingly complex global threat environment.
