824th BDS conducts austere airbase defense at exercise Arduous Ghost

A U.S. Air Force 824th Base Defense Squadron Airman defends a position during exercise Arduous Ghost at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, April 27, 2025. Exercise Arduous Ghost demonstrated the 824th BDS readiness for defending these austere airbases in contested environments. As part of the 820th Base Defense Group, these Airmen train continuously to master defensive operations and capabilities required for area, mobile, linear, perimeter defenses and tactical retrogrades. These operations range from denying adversarial access to key terrain and enemy movement to destruction of adversarial forces in proximity to bases to decrease an enemy's capability and willingness to fight.
