Large Scale War Game Coming to the Coast

Army guardsmen from all over America are coming together on the Gulf Coast to participate in an international combat exercise.
The Mississippi Air National Guard is hosting Southern Strike, a large scale war game where military service members will train with conventional and Special Forces.
Over 2,000 service members are expected for the combat exercise at the Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center. More than 20 types of U.S. military aircrafts will participate. Southern Strike Commander Colonel Craig Ziemba said, “Probably no other area right now in the United States where this large of a concentration of special and conventional forces gather to train for combat. Our ranges, our facilities, our air space, we have a freedom here at the Gulf Coast that you just don’t have anywhere else for large scale exercises.”
The fifth annual Southern Strike will go from Monday October 24th to November 4th.
