Description:
Air Force Exercise Eagle Flag is a USAF Chief of Staff directed exercise, supported by Air Mobility Command. The training is directed by the USAF Expeditionary Center (USAF EC) and executed by the USAF EC Expeditionary Operations School commander located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J.
Eagle Flag is designed for developing, testing and rehearsing the expeditionary combat support library of capabilities. Traditionally an air base opening exercise, it has evolved into a proof of concept and mission rehearsal for joint task force-port opening, close the operating location, aero-medical evacuation operations, defense support to civil authorities, contingency response element integration, irregular warfare, humanitarian operations and other contingencies faced by our nation and its allies.
U.S. forces must be able to provide a rapid, tailored response to a variety of universal situations. The exercise and associated training brings together those expeditionary support skills a combatant commander needs to execute the assigned mission in a realistic contingency environment. Eagle Flag provides that safe, yet extremely realistic training environment to ensure expeditionary combat support forces are ready to perform their mission. Additionally, participants are provided a field-condition platform to validate and improve upon contingency plans and concepts of operations.
