Operation Dynamic Weasel is the name USAF has given to a tactics and techniques training exercise set to take place at Shaw AFB, S.C., on Dec. 2. The activity will feature F-16CJ and B-1B aircraft, integrated with air operations and support centers and airborne command and control in a combat-like scenario. Maj. Anthony Roberson, with Shaw’s 20th Fighter Wing, says a late 2006 Dynamic Weasel will include Army and Navy participants.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
