ATLANTIC TRIDENT 2017, hosted by the 1st Fighter Wing, focuses on air operations in a highly contested operational environment through a variety of complex, simulated adversary scenarios. The goal of the exercise is to enhance interoperability through combined coalition aerial campaigns. This exercise is one of the first to focus on greater integration of U.S. Air Force's fifth-generation capabilities. (U.S. Air Force graphic/Airman 1st Class Tristan Biese)
