MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- RAGING GUNFIGHTER 25-1 will kick off in various locations throughout the Mountain West subregion of the United States, beginning Oct. 21, and will last for approximately 10 days.
During RAGING GUNFIGHTER 25-1, the 366th Fighter Wing from Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, will test their ability to generate combat air power while continuing to move, maneuver and sustain both their Wing and subordinate force elements in a dynamic and contested environment.
This exercise represents the culmination of planning and collaboration throughout the year between multiple Air Force major commands, combining capabilities to perform together in high-intensity training.
Throughout the exercise, Airmen will command and control F-15E Strike Eagles from Mountain Home and F-35 Lighting IIs from Hill AFB, Utah. They will also integrate with Air Mobility Command’s 19th Airlift Wing from Little Rock AFB, Ark. to deliver combat air power all while operating from dispersed locations. Additionally, personnel from the 52nd Combat Communications Squadron from Robins AFB, Ga., will provide communication infrastructure and support throughout the exercise.
During the exercise, local area residents can expect to see an increase in Air Force personnel; military aircraft taking off and landing at a higher frequency than normal; possible loud “attack” warning tones (wavering tones similar to a tornado warning); the use of a giant voice system; simulated opposition forces; pyrotechnics; smoke and other simulated battle noises.
