Chennault International Airport was proud to host a joint tactical training exercise featuring F-15s from the 159th Fighter Wing and B-52s from the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base. Following the event, Barksdale AFB recognized Chennault’s unique combination of runway length and aircraft parking space—making it an ideal location for dispersed B-52 operations.

The exercise showcased enhanced interoperability, total force integration, and agile combat employment as active-duty Airmen, Louisiana National Guardsmen, and community partners worked side-by-side. The event also included an operational survey of the Louisiana Army National Guard’s Lake Charles Readiness Center, with leadership from both units on-site.

Chennault is proud to support national defense objectives and serve as a trusted partner in advancing mission readiness.
