As the 18th Aggressor Squadron out of Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, closes out its final days in Australia, we highlight the key attribute of this exercise: joint interoperability. Both the pilots and the maintainers capitalized on this unique environment and the exercise to learn a little bit more about a joint partner nation, the Royal Australian Air Force, and even about themselves. This video is part three of a four-part series.
Pilots with the 18th Aggressor Squadron, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, are working with Royal Australian Air Force Air Warfare Centre instructors to train and prepare RAAF fighter combat instructors, airspace battle managers, fighter intelligence instructors and fighter combat controllers. Exercise Diamond Shield 2017, the second of four Diamond Series exercises conducted by the RAAF Air Warfare Centre, is an Australian Defence Force training activity where high-readiness forces deploy quickly to remote locations in Australia in response to a simulated security threat. The exercise will see members of the ADF Navy, Army and Air Force rapidly deploy to counter a fictitious force posing a threat to Australia's national security in the Kimberley region in North Western Australia.
