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.

Maj. Gen. James E. Smith assumed command of Space Training and Readiness Command from Maj. Gen. Timothy A. Sejba during a ceremony at Patrick Space Force Base, Fla., July 18, 2025. Smith is the first to lead the command from its new home on Florida’s Space Coast. Its five Deltas are geographically dispersed across the U.S. and deliver doctrine development, training, testing, and education that shape Guardian readiness at every stage of their careers. Space Training and Readiness Command's role of developing warfighters, testing and evaluating capabilities, and delivering combat credibility for the U.S. Space Force was front and center during the ceremony. The message emphasizes STARCOM’s mission to ensure national defense and protect the American way of life through readiness and innovation. (U.S. Space Force video by Isaac Blancas) More
