Twelve airmen from the 728th BMCS traveled from Georgia to Connecticut to participate in an exercise at the 103rd Air Control Squadron during the week of May 12, 2025. This exercise involved remote control of live aircraft—namely F-22 Raptors from the 1st Fighter Wing out of Joint Base Langley-Eustis. The training focused on providing tactical-level control of airborne assets, and it gave Robins' personnel the opportunity to earn critical live control experience required for Combat Mission Ready (CMR) status. As both active and guard squadrons continue to prepare for future deployments and mission transitions, exercises like this reinforce the Air Force’s ability to operate as one integrated team.
