Tech. Sgt. Brian Spradling, avionics technician, 13th Fighter Squadron, Misawa Air Base, Japan, conducts an F-16 post flight inspection August 20, 2008, during exercise Green Flag 080-9 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. This training prepares U.S. forces to fight in a high-tech combat environment while providing Air Force leaders valuable planning experience. Green Flag exercises use state-of-the-art technology to provide world class close air support counter land airpower training for Air Force, sister services, and international combat fighter, bomber, and airborne command and control squadrons stressing realistic combat environments focused on high desert armored warfare. The exercise facilitates joint operational training at the U.S. Army National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif. Green Flag also trains Air Force ground combat units in the tactical control of airpower in the close battle. U.S. Army brigade commanders and their combat forces deployed to NTC receive the support and integrate the airpower. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Master Sgt. Kevin J. Gruenwald)
