Department of the Air Force military training instructors assigned to the 319th Training Squadron and serving as cadre at Primary Agile Combat Employment Range Forward Operation Readiness Generation Exercise, narrate the culminating event Sept. 15, 2025, that all U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force basic military trainees must complete prior to graduation at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas. PACER FORGE tests trainees' teamwork, discipline, and problem-solving skills in a 57-hour exercise that reinforces expeditionary concepts learned throughout BMT. This video is part nine of a ten-part series that demonstrates the different career options within the MTI (8 Bravo) Specialty Code for the Air Force and Space Force.
