More than 300 Reserve Citizen Airmen from the 944th Fighter Wing alongside103 aircraft supported by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Navy embarked on a large force, deployment simulation exercise, dubbed Desert Hammer, in southern Arizona, Nov. 2-5, 2023. To prepare and adapt for rapid global shifts and evolving near-peer adversaries, the 944th FW is committed to seizing opportunities to strengthen Air Force operational concepts known as Agile Combat Employment (ACE) and Multi-Capable Airmen (MCA). These tactics emphasize flexibility, adaptability, and the effective utilization of our forces to enhance air power while also improving our ability to operate in dynamic combat environments.
