The goal of Emerald Flag is to incorporate ground, air, space, cyberspace and experimental platforms, involving 25 government agencies, to develop the concept of the ‘joint domain warfighter’.

The use of Russian/Soviet designed vehicles was only one part of the larger Emerald Flag operation: “We brought together fighter, command and control and electronic warfare aircraft with advanced weapons and integrated them into a strike package with cyber and land assets that used innovative experimental technology in a challenging environment.”-Colonel Doug Creviston, 96th Operations Group commander

The positions of the Russian/Soviet designed vehicles were marked by GPS. Interestingly, the December 2020 Emerald Flag was the first wargame where classified information was collected and shared by many groups on the ‘cloud’.
