Silver Flag training exercise provides United States Air Force Civil Engineers with a training venue in a contingency environment that focuses on hands-on technical experience for high-demand, contingency tools and equipment generally not available at home station. Standardized curriculum is managed through the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC).
Silver Flag training exercise focuses on bare base beddown, sustainment operations and recovery after attack. The following elements are part of the training covered during Silver Flag:
- Base Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR), Revers Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU), Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS), Emergency Airfield Lighting System (EALS) and High voltage power generation and distribution systems.
- Airfield Damage Repair (ADR).
- Firefighting, CBRN Management/Response and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD).
- Chaplain and Chaplain Assistant personnel from the Air Force Chaplain Corps College (AFCCC), Maxwell AFB, AL. The AFCCC rejoined Silver Flag in February 2017, and participates in up to five exercises per fiscal year at the Silver Flag training site at Tyndall AFB, FL.
Silver Flag is available at three USAF training sites:
- Det1 823 RHS, Tyndall Air Force Base, USA
