U.S. Air Force photo by Airman First Class Quentin Marx, 16FEB2021.

The military calls it ‘divestiture’, when they retire a major piece of military equipment.  Under the National Defense Authorization Act, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) is required to divest 17 B-1B Lancers (aka Bones) in order to justify buying the new B-21 Raider (a new version of the B-2).

Despite being activated to conduct pandemic panic-attack vaccination operations, the majority of Nebraska National Guard personnel are refusing to get the shot themselves!

According to the Nebraska National Guard, only 25% of their militia members have gotten even the first dose of vaccine (Air and Army combined)!   It must be made clear that even the U.S. military is not forcing personnel to get the CoViD shot, because it is officially still considered “experimental” by the FDA!   (The FDA approved such vaccines under their Emergency Use Authorization [EUA] only.)

Nebraska Air National Guard photo by Senior Airman Jamie Titus.

When you separate National Guard data into personnel from Army or Air Force units there is a noticeable difference; Air Force personnel are more apt to go along with what the government wants them do to42% of Nebraska’s Air National Guard personnel have been vaccinated.

The U.S. Department of Defense refers to vaccines being accepted by personnel as the ‘take rate’.  However, it was also admitted by the federal level National Guard Bureau that there won’t be enough vaccines for all the states’ militia units “until later in April.”

At some point somebody figured out that letting personnel, and their families, watch bombing/gunnery runs was a great morale booster.

Russia invades Florida?

“Technology is advancing faster than ever before and Emerald Flag is at the cutting edge of connecting land, sea, air, space and cyber assets across all domains simultaneously.”-Lieutenant Colonel Michael Fritts

“The goal is to align DoD resources across the Florida panhandle and enable multi-domain test and experimentation to prepare the warfighter for a 21st-century fight.”-Major Alexander Hillman, 45th Test Squadron

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’.
