Agile Chariot 2023 B-Roll Package
1st Special Operations Wing
Video by Airman 1st Class Andrew Ancona
May 5, 2023 | 6:23
U.S. Air Force Airmen participate Exercise Agile Chariot, April 30, 2023, honing capabilities linked to Agile Combat Employment. Instead of relying on large, fixed bases and infrastructure, ACE uses smaller, more dispersed locations and teams to rapidly move and support aircraft, pilots, and other personnel to wherever they are needed. There are millions of miles of public roads in the United States, including federal, state, and local roads – with Agile Combat Employment, including Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) and Integrated Combat Turnarounds (ICT), it becomes millions of miles of public runways, when necessary.
