Top training, realistic combat threats – warriors made on Idaho soil
A U.S. Marine Corps UH-1 Huey takes off with a team of Air Force combat controllers, who were controlling close-air support training missions at Juniper Butte Range, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, March 12, 2014. Mountain Home Air Force Base and the 266th Range Squadron controls and maintains emitter sites across almost 7,500-square miles of operational range space, and it’s that access to airspace and ranges that allows for realistic, safe training and testing while providing the flexibility to accommodate the complexity of this multinational, multiservice exercise.
