The Agile Reaper 24-1 Exercise is a U.S. Air Force Agile Combat Employment exercise that works to stress the force’s capability to rapidly generate air power and mobility across the Pacific. Agile Reaper gives the USAF the opportunity to exercise and execute the Air Force Generation model through rapid mobility, command, control, and distributed operations in a contested degraded operations environment. This effort allows USAF to realistically train and operate in a more dispersed and decentralized manner.
