They had the opportunity to carry out high density altitude and radar warning receiver training, and tested joint-precision aerial-delivery systems at Saylor Creek Range.

“At Saylor Creek Range we have 100 percent control over our exercises and scenarios,” said Flight Lieutenant Cseh, RAAF C-130J Super Hercules detachment commander. “Here, the simulated threats can be spread out and better controlled.”
