The Aggressors (Red Flag)

Pilots with the 64th Aggressor Squadron use their knowledge of potential adversaries to play "King Kong on the block" for blue force pilots during the Red Flag exercise at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Red Flag, an advanced aerial exercise, pits training pilots in blue forces against red forces piloted by aggressors in a series of combat scenarios over the Nevada Test and Training Range's 15,000 square miles of air space. The aggressors tested aircraft during Red Flag 15-2, which included aircraft from 13 Air Force squadrons, along with the Royal Norwegian Air Force and NATO. The 64th AGRS supports Red Flag, as well as the U.S. Air Force Weapons School, and test and evaluation squadrons and trains combat Air Force units on adversary tactics.
