Details from Nellis Air Force Base: U.S. Air Force Weapons School Integration (WSINT) is a series of complex, large-force employment missions that serve as the capstone portion of Weapons School classes. WSINT involves the planning and execution of every aspect of air, space and cyber combat operations, with joint force components, converging over the Nevada Test and Training Range.
WSINT demonstrates the strategic advantage of multi-domain, integrated command and control and produces leaders capable of delivering success in a spectrum, ranging from small tactical teams to strategic transformational change.
Training during WSINT follows lines of operations designed to support U.S. Air Force doctrinal missions. Currently, those lines of operations and missions sets include:
Operation MOJAVE SHIELD - Defensive counterair - Integrate air and missile defense to deter and defeat an adversary.
Operation INSTANT THUNDER - Offensive counterair - Gain freedom of maneuver throughout a joint operations area.
Operation CROSSBOW - Offensive counterair/dynamic targeting - Neutralize an adversary’s surface-to-surface missiles, weapons of mass destruction, and power projection capabilities.
Operation LUMBERJACK - Counterland - Conduct theater interdiction, strike coordination and reconnaissance, and close air support to break an adversary’s will/capacity for resistance.
Operation COYOTE FREEDOM - Air Mobility Support/irregular warfare/special operations - Seize key facilities in the joint operations area and set stage for decisive operations.
Operation SKYTRAIN - Strategic attack/space and cyber operations/special operations - Employ special operations forces and strategic attack assets to shape the battlespace and neutralize centers of gravity.

I want your job, Fred!! Thank you, sir!

[@airailimages]

It's a fun mix of video I shoot, plus some neat stuff I get from the DoD, like this footage from Nellis. Hey -- there's always room for another channel on KZbin if you want to take the leap.

@@airailimages My friend, I appreciate the offer, but with seven major hobbies (various forms of history, modeling, aviation, restoring and collecting Postwar Lionel. etc.) I really don’t need another one!!😜. I guess I’ll have to stick with enjoying your work!!

[@airailimages]

Ah yes, postwar Lionel... you will probably hate that when we were kids, my brother and I painted the boiler front silver on our circa-1956 Lionel 0-4-0 switcher to make it look more like a Southern Pacific loco. Still have it around, and probably also the Santa Fe black diesel switcher.

I enjoy your videos. Especially these types. Sound of freedom without commentaries 🇺🇸 Gratefully, US Army Veteran

[@airailimages]

Thanks for watching, and for commenting. We go with different types of audio depending on the footage we have available. This group of clips from Nellis AFB had usable ambient audio. Sometimes, at air shows, we can't get away from PA loudspeakers playing commercial music for which we do not own rights, so we have to mute the sound. That's when you hear us drop in music. We'd rather have engine sounds, and strive for that whenever possible. And some folks want to see a face connected with a video, so you'll occasionally see/hear a quick voice-over. But bottom line, we try to give you as much ambient engine sound as we can.

@@airailimages no worries I love your historical clips As an aviation nut, it's awesome 🇺🇸
