A two-week exercise called Eagle Flag wrapped up at Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst, N.J. The exercise, designed to help airmen prepare for expeditionary deployments, concluded on Oct. 28. Participants were tested on a wide range of expeditionary combat support skills. Besides working to build a base from the ground up, Eagle Flag 06-01 participants faced simulated enemy threats such as chemical attacks.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
