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.

U.S. Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps Cadet Katie Lock, a student at Virginia Tech and member of the New River Battalion, 1st Brigade, U.S. Army Cadet Command, talks about her experience jumping with the 173rd Airborne Brigade at Aviano Air Base, Italy. She participated in this training as part of the Cadet Troop Leader Training (CTLT) program. The CTLT program offers select ROTC cadets, the Army's future leaders, an invaluable chance to experience active-duty firsthand by shadowing seasoned platoon leaders.
