U.S. and international combat air forces senior leaders participated in the Weapons and Tactics Conference and C2 Summit at Nellis Air Force Base, Jan. 2-13.
WEPTAC is Air Combat Command's annual pinnacle of tactics and warfare with a charge to accelerate the modernization and development of solutions for the joint employment of forces across the range of Air Force core warfighting functions.
"There is a common saying of 'As goes Nellis, so goes the Air Force," said Maj. Gen. David Lyons, ACC director of operations, in a speech to an audience of nearly 1,400 U.S. and allied service members. "The primary focus of WEPTAC is the National Defense Strategy and therefore the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. We are here at the nexus of airpower to advise and shape our nation's warfighting prowess."
Gen. Ken Wilsbach, Pacific Air Forces commander, gave the keynote address to this year's summit and WEPTAC attendees, emphasizing a need for constant forward motion with innovation as a requirement for mission success.
