The 4th Fighter Wing from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina will be the lead unit during Red Flag 18-1, Jan. 29 to Feb. 16, 2018, at Nellis AFB, Nevada.

Red Flag is a realistic combat training exercise involving the air, space and cyber forces of the United States and its allies. The exercise is hosted north of Las Vegas on the Nevada Test and Training Range, the U.S. Air Force’s premier military training area with more than 15,000 square miles of airspace and 2.9 million acres of land.

Red Flag 18-1 participants include the United States Air Force, United States Navy, United States Army, United States Marine Corps, Royal Australian Air Force and Royal Air Force.

The primary objective of RF 18-1 is to provide all aircrew and maintenance participants the opportunity to plan and employ together in the air, space and cyber domains in a contested, degraded and operationally limited training environment.

Please monitor the official Seymour Johnson AFB website at www.seymourjohnson.af.mil for articles and photos that will be published of 4th Fighter Wing personnel and assets participating in RF 18-1.
