Sentry Storm is a joint training environment enabling Airman and Soldiers to exercise their skills needed to prevail over near-peer competitors while applying Agile Combat Employment concepts. Training events will take place at Yeager Field, Camp Branch in Logan County, Shepherd Field in Martinsburg, W.Va., and in the skies over West Virginia during the week-long exercise.

"Sentry Storm is a dynamic exercise that enables the West Virginia ANG, along with our National Guard partners from other states and sister services to demonstrate the agile combat capability of the United States military,” said Brigadier General David V. Cochran, Assistant Adjutant General-Air for West Virginia. “The unique topography of West Virginia and numerous airfields in play, allow the teams to practice realistic ACE concepts and scenarios; which have been evolving over the past few years and requires the dispersal of combat capability in both established and austere locations.”

Sentry Storm participants include Air National Guard, Army National Guard, Air Force Reserves, Navy, Air Force and Civil Air Patrol units. Twenty-one aircraft to include C-130’s, C-17’s MH-60’s, A-10’s, Cessna 172, and UH-1N were employed for the training.
