The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) personnel are participating in the multi-national air-to-air combat training exercise, code-named Red Flag 14-2, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska, US.

The RAAF contingent includes 68 personnel and a pair of C-130J Super Hercules aircraft.

The Australian contingent will showcase a recently upgraded electronic warfare (EW) self-protection system during the exercise.
The three-week exercise involves participation of armed forces from Japan, and the US as well.

RAAF No. 37 Squadron commanding officer wing commander Darren Goldie said Red Flag Alaska serves as an important training opportunity for personnel, by replicating modern battlefield with simulated missiles, enemy radar systems, as well as ‘aggressor’ fighter jets.

Exercise Red Flag 14-2 is scheduled to conclude on 27 June.
