Elements from across RAF Global Enablement (GE) have come together to collectively train, responding to major incidents in a simulated conflict area that includes a near-peer adversary.
Exercise Auxilium Fort, held at the Complex Air Ground Environment Training Area at RAF Honington, saw GE training together, testing their adaptability to emerging situations and possible threats.
"Enabling Air and Space Power is at the core of our mission. Exercise AUXILIUM FORT highlights the diverse skills of RAF Global Enablement Forces, from Medics to Logistics specialists and beyond. This exercise demonstrates our dedication to supporting, protecting, and sustaining Air Operations globally."
Air Commodore Thompson, Commander Global Enablement
The Support Force planned and delivered exercise provided an opportunity for force elements: 1 Expeditionary Logistics Squadron; 1 Air Mobility Wing; 2 Mechanical Transport Squadron; 3 Mobile Catering Squadron; 90 Signals Unit; 5001 Squadron; Tactical Medical Wing; 1 Tactical Police and Security Squadron; RAF Police Military Working Dogs and Joint Aircraft Recovery and Transport Squadron to test and develop their skills.
The exercise offered a variety of scenarios that tested the niche capabilities that RAF GE provides, whilst also challenging the readiness and responsiveness of the exercise players during a simulated attack.
Personnel from the French Air and Space Force and the French Operational Energy Service (SEO) were hosted by Support Force to observe part of the exercise, building on our relationship with our international colleagues with the opportunity to discuss future training opportunities.
