192nd Wing conducts agile combat training exercise
More than 800 mission-ready Air National Guard members gathered at the Air Dominance Center in Savannah, Georgia, April 21-27, 2025, for Operation Maverick’s Armistice. This exercise aimed to strengthen the ability of multiple units to adapt and respond to challenges in a complex environment and marked the largest movement of the 192nd Wing since before 9/11.
As the fourth iteration of an agile combat training exercise led by the 192nd Wing, based at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton, Virginia, Operation Maverick’s Armistice brought together participants from various U.S. states and territories, including Virginia, Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The exercise fostered a culture of independence and collaboration, testing Airmen’s training, knowledge and skills, and emphasizing the need for teams to identify, adapt, direct and overcome challenges without relying on usual support structures. Operation Maverick’s Armistice, the latest iteration in a series of exercises designed to advance new concepts and techniques, distinguished itself by redefining operational strategies.
