Airmen from the 90th Missile Wing and units of the Air Force Global Strike Command, Air Combat Command, U.S. Strategic Command, and the Air National Guard took part in a two‑day counter‑small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) firing qualification at Camp Guernsey Joint Training Center in Wyoming on May 14‑15 2026. The exercise, conducted in partnership with Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF 401), tested participants’ ability to engage ground and aerial targets at varying distances using advanced small‑arms target‑acquisition systems. JIATF 401, established in August 2025, aims to rapidly deliver state‑of‑the‑art counter‑small UAS capabilities to protect the homeland, critical infrastructure and federal agencies. “Protecting our power‑projection platforms is a critical component of enhancing warfighter lethality,” said Army Brig. Gen. Matt Ross, JIATF 401 director. The training also provided 90th Missile Wing personnel hands‑on experience with emerging technologies that support the Air Force Global Strike Command’s modernization of missile field security and nuclear deterrence.
