Mountain Home AFB to host large-scale exercise

Exercise evaluators will use portable trailers, like the one shown here, to disrupt information from Global Positioning System satellites during the upcoming Gunfighter Flag exercise.

Officials at Mountain Home Air Force Base are gearing up for a large-scale training exercise next month that's expected to temporarily block access to satellite-based navigation signals.

Scheduled to run from Nov. 2 to 6, Gunfighter Flag will bring together military aircraft and hundreds of military personnel from bases across the northwestern United States, including Gowen Field in Boise.
