Nebraska Air National Guard to conduct combat readiness exercise

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - This weekend, the Nebraska Air National Guard’s 155th Air Refueling Wing will conduct a combat readiness exercise at the Lincoln Air National Guard Base.

The combat readiness exercise evaluates the wing’s ability to rapidly mobilize, deploy and sustain operations in a simulated contingency environment. The exercise will test the deployment readiness and supporting infrastructure of the installation to support wartime operations.

Airmen will be assessed on performance-based tasks critical to mission readiness, such as cargo processing, personnel deployment and emergency response actions.

Operating under compressed timelines, airmen will be challenged to execute deployment tasks efficiently and effectively, replicating the pressures of real-world operations.
