Silver Flag Alpha/US Air Force Desert Warfare Center 1983, THIS IS A USAF FILM OF THE FIRST CLASS TO GO THROUGH THE DESERT WARFARE TRAINING. I WAS PART OF A 44 MAN TEAM UP AGAINST A 19 MAN AGRESSOR TEAM , I BELIVE WE WERE OUT IN THE DESERT FOR ABOUT 20 DAYS,WE WERE ALL STATIONED AT HOMESTEAD AFB FL THE AGGRESSOR TEAM WERE FROM VARIOUS TACTICAL AIR COMMAND BASES. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN AND EXCITEMENT I STAYED UP FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS STRAIGHT DURING THE BATTLE WE ATE C-RATIONS BACK THEN AND WE HAD A BAD BATCH AND WENT WITH NO FOOD FOR A DAY UNTIL THEY BROUGHT US SOME HOT CHOW FROM NELLIS AFB . I REMEMBER YOU COULD BE DOWN TO A T-SHIRT DURING THE DAY,BUT AT NIGHT WE HAD WINTER COATS . GOOD EXPERIENCE OVERALL . NOW THIS WAS 1983 SO IT SHOWS THAT A HINT OF DESERT WARFARE WAS IN THE AIR EVEN BACK THEN .
