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.

A Coast Guard MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter and a Puerto Rico Police aircrew rescued three CBP marine interdiction agents and two other boaters in the water off 'Isla de Cabras' in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico in the night of March 30, 2026. The rescued CBP agents courageously responded in treacherous 10-foot swells to rescue two boaters from a capsized vessel, when their vessel also capsized throwing the crew into the water. All agents and the two boaters were treated for minor injuries, and there were no other people reported missing. (U.S. Coast Guard video) More
