12/11/2014 - NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. -- Approximately 100 aircraft, including more than 50 C-130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster IIIs, teamed up with the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to execute the U.S. Air Force Weapons School's Joint Forcible Entry Exercise 14B Dec. 6 on the Nevada Test and Training Range.

Before more than 100 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne could descend onto the exercise's objective area on the NTTR to gain control of the land, Weapons School students were responsible for seizing control of the air from the "enemy" forces of the 64th Aggressor Squadron. Overall, more than 1,000 personnel, including six general officers, and $8.7 billion in assets were involved in the exercise.
