How you train is how you fight: 386 AEW conducts exercise, sets precedent for mission success

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Cory Bunton, 386th Air Expeditionary Wing chief of exercise, wing inspection team, worked alongside his WIT members to provide the most realistic and useful exercise experience across Ali Al Salem Air Force Base. The base engaged in two-days of exercises that tested command and control, accountability, major accident response and air and missile defense capabilities October 19-20, 2022. “We set up the scenarios so that everyone practices how they would respond,” said Bunton. “Then we evaluate their response against current policies, practices, and procedures to make sure that we are hitting the marks that we need to. We also make sure that in case one of these events actually occurs, we know how to respond and be more effective in that response.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Dalton Williams)
