F-16 arrival enhances readiness at BMT with hands-on training

An F-16 Fighting Falcon is hauled by an 18-wheeler through Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, March 20, 2026. The F-16 will be integrated into the Air Base Training Range, as one of three aircraft designed to provide a more realistic and immersive training environment for trainees at Basic Military Training. This new curriculum and containerized training is part of an overall endeavor from Air Force officials to transform BMT, referred to as BMT Next. (U.S. Air Force photo by Vanessa R. Adame)
