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.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
