Readiness means being prepared to adapt.

Airmen with the 147th Attack Wing put their skills to the test this weekend during a wing-wide training exercise at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base.

Through classroom instruction and hands-on scenarios, Airmen from across the wing tackled evolving challenges designed to test their ability to communicate, coordinate and respond in a dynamic operational environment.

The exercise brought together multiple units and specialties, reinforcing the teamwork and skills Airmen need to respond safely and effectively.

As the operational environment changes, our training must keep pace, strengthening our readiness for the challenges ahead.
