In the sprawling expanse of military training, where preparation meets purpose, a new era of readiness is being written. Reserve Citizen Airmen, traditionally seen hovering over computer-based training, are now gearing up, rifles in hand, en route to an unfamiliar, remote location. Their mission: to transcend the boundaries of their usual roles and embrace the unpredictability of combat through a rigorous training regimen designed to mirror the complexities of modern warfare.
This iteration of training for more than 75 Reserve Citizen Airmen of the 944th Fighter Wing, along with 10 Airmen from the 56th Fighter Wing, was Field Training Exercise Desert Anvil, the first of its kind conducted by the 944th Mission Support Group and the 944th Aeromedical Staging Squadron at Florence Military Reservation in Florence, Ariz., Apr. 5-6, 2024.
The intent of this training was not a matter of choice but a necessity, driven by the evolving landscape of global threats and the realization that the battlefield does not discriminate by job specialty.
