Department-Level Exercise (DLE) Series

Through this series, the Department of the Air Force is preparing to be a stronger, more lethal deterrent force, to provide an advantage against competitors and adversaries across all domains, and to ensure regional stability in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.

The DLE series will incorporate multiple command exercises into one overall threat deterrence scenario, including Resolute Force Pacific (REFORPAC), Resolute Space, Mobility Guardian, Emerald Warrior and Bamboo Eagle 25-3.

It will also integrate multiple allies and partners in specific component exercises with shared interests. Partner integration is critical to U.S. efforts to ensure regional and global peace and stability and provides a decisive advantage against complex threats.

B-Roll video of Oregon Army National Guard Soldiers from Delta Company and Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 186th Infantry Regiment, board a CH-47 Chinook helicopter from Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 168th Aviation Regiment, for familiarization flights over Medford and Ashland during MEDEVAC 101 training at Grants Pass Airport, July 13, 2025. The morale flights provided many Soldiers their first experience aboard Army aviation assets while showcasing the capabilities of the Oregon-based aviation unit. Two Soldiers chose to make the flights even more memorable by conducting their reenlistment ceremonies aboard the aircraft at 1,500 feet above southern Oregon. (U.S. Army National Guard video by Maj.
