Air Force hosts Coalition VIRTUAL FLAG, one of the largest virtual air combat exercises

Canadian tactical air control party member operates within a simultaneously live, virtual, and constructive environment which allows warfighters to prepare to wage war, and then practice doing so in a realistic simulation so that they can learn how to be combat effective at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, Oct. 24 - Nov. 5, 2021. Coalition VIRTUAL FLAG exercises led by the United States Air Force focus on coalition major combat operations in a realistic theater against a near-peer threat in a dynamic training environment. CVFs are designed to build and maintain joint and coalition partnerships between the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada by focusing on planning, executing, and debriefing a multitude of mission sets in air, space, surface, and cyber domains.
