Ops Group, NTC
U.S. Air Force
The Operations Group, National Training Center (Ops Group, NTC), based at Fort Irwin, California, was established in 1981 to facilitate realistic force-on-force training for U.S. Army units. Its primary mission is to design, control, and evaluate complex training scenarios for Brigade Combat Teams and other units preparing for deployment. Ops Group personnel serve as observer-coach-trainers (OCTs), as well as providing the opposing force (OPFOR) that simulates near-peer adversaries. Over the decades, Ops Group has been instrumental in enhancing the combat readiness and adaptability of U.S. and allied forces through rigorous, scenario-based training in a challenging desert environment.

SAC Dallas: Fort Worth
U.S. Air Force
The Strategic Air Command (SAC) Dallas/Fort Worth unit was established during the Cold War era as part of the United States Air Force’s efforts to maintain a strong nuclear deterrent. Located at what is now known as Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth (formerly Carswell Air Force Base), the base hosted several SAC units, including bomber and tanker wings equipped with B-52 Stratofortresses and KC-135 Stratotankers. Throughout its tenure under SAC from the late 1940s until the command’s deactivation in 1992, the Dallas/Fort Worth unit played a key role in strategic bombing, air refueling, and readiness exercises. The unit’s legacy continues today through its ongoing support of reserve and joint military operations.
