In August, the 177th Fighter Wing underwent a Combat Readiness Inspection (CRI) to ensure that our Airmen are fully prepared to deploy and succeed in high-stakes combat environments. The CRI simulated operations under rigorous, austere, contested scenarios. Inspections like these assist the 177FW in supplying professional warfighters to deliver lethal airpower and unrivaled support for the state and nation.

Nice job, Devils!
