Introduction to Exercise Red Flag 2014



About 300 RAAF personnel from around Australia deployed to Exercise Red Flag held between 21st Jan -- 15 Feb 2014. The Exercise was conducted on the 15,000-square-mile Nevada Test and Training Range, north of Las Vegas in the United States. 

The large scale exercise involved experienced aircrews from different air forces, including the United States and Great Britain flying strike, electronic warfare, tactical transport, fighter escort, airborne warning and control and air to air refuelling missions against dedicated defensive fighter aircraft and an extensive range of simulated surface to air threats. 

Exercise RED FLAG is one of a series of advanced training programs administered by the U.S. Air Force Warfare Centre and Nellis Air Force Base, through the 414th Combat Training Squadron.
