Service members from Ninth Air Force (Air Forces Central), U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. Army Central Command, coalition partners, and regional partner nations conducted Joint Air Defense Exercise 22-01, a theater-wide large-scale integrated air and missile defense exercise, Feb. 14-18, 2022.

The biannual five-day exercise developed joint, coalition and regional strategic approach to multi-domain operations through the use of simulated air, missile, maritime and cyber threats.

Justin Cunningham, 9th AF (AFCENT) chief of exercises. “It affords the AOR the ability to train as a coalition, field-test new capabilities and procedures, and identify our blind spots.”
