HIMARS are mobile ground systems that can strike targets over 160 km away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army and Air Force sent one C-17 to transport two HIMARS to Fort Greely, where they were driven to their firing location. At the same time one HIMARS launched its payload, F-15s, F-16s and E\/A-18s were fighting in the same airspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Lt. Col. Ronald Crabtree, the 353rd chief of weapons for Red Flag-Alaska, this air-land collaboration broke new operational ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the past, from what I\u2019m told, when the Army shoots these rockets they just clear the air entirely,\u201d he said. \u201cSo the idea that we\u2019re doing it during a large-force exercise with upwards of 20 to 30 aircraft in the air is a big deal. It demonstrated we are able to do it tactically and safely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time the Army and Air Force were working on their coordination, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.af.mil\/News\/Article-Display\/Article\/1519003\/nato-provides-eye-in-the-sky-for-red-flag\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">NATO airmen from 15 different countries<\/a> practiced cuing up unreported ground and air targets to mitigate fighter jet losses.

It\u2019s a really good example of the air-to-air component,\u201d said Staff Sgt. Ryan Goll, a radar technician. \u201cTracking enemy fighters and actually getting our communications gear jammed \u2014 this is more than your typical sortie or exercise; Red Flag is the most realistic training you\u2019re going to get.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capt. Noel Conrard, an air battle manager, compared the exercise and normal training to playing on a full sized field instead of in the backyard. \u201cWhen we are at home station [training] it\u2019s like a backyard football scrimmage; we just don\u2019t have as many players,\u201d said Conrard. \u201cBut at a large force exercise like Red Flag-Alaska, it\u2019s like playing on a regular sized football field. We execute different tactics and integrate with more assets. It allows the E-3 to be used to the fullest extent of its capabilities.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise, which ran from April 30 to May 11, was the first of four scheduled for 2018. Red Flag-Alaska 18-2 will begin June 11, 18-3 on August 11 and 19-1 on October 8. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Air Force and Army partnered with NATO allies during the
