Red Flag is a realistic combat training environment involving the United States Air Force and its allies. Red Flag is conducted on the vast bombing and gunnery ranges of the 2.9M acre Nevada Test and Training Range. There are approximately 100 aircraft participating in Red Flag 14-2 from approximately 20 units. Red Flag gives aircrews and air support operations service members from various airframes, military services and allied countries an opportunity to integrate and practice combat operations. The concept of Red Flag was developed by Maj. Moody Suter to simulate the first 10 combat missions pilots would face. More than 440,000 service members have participated in Red Flag since 1975, including more than 145,000 aircrew members flying more than 385,000 sorties and logging more than 660,000 flight hours.
