Commentary: Upcoming OREs not 'business as usual'

Anyone who works at Hill Air Force Base is well aware of the sheer size of this installation, as well as the large scope of its many missions. Team Hill has six wings, 61 associate units, all of which fall under seven different major commands, and a total base population of more than 22,000.

With so many different people, having different missions and separate chains of command at Hill, it should be clear that training and exercising together is very important to ensure we can work together during any situation as well as maintain our combat readiness.
