US Air Force Central (AFCENT) said on Tuesday that Washington will be conducting extended readiness drills in CENTCOM's area of responsibility amid tensions around Iran.
On Monday, Fox News reported, citing a US official, that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group had entered CENTCOM's area of responsibility in the Indian Ocean.
"Ninth Air Force (Air Forces Central) will be conducting a multi-day readiness exercise to demonstrate the ability to deploy, disperse, and sustain combat airpower across the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility," the statement said.
The exercise will focus on rapid movement of personnel and aircraft; dispersed operations at contingency locations; logistics support with a minimal footprint; as well as integrated, multinational command and control over a large area.
