Combat readiness drill prepares Keesler personnel for real-world deployment

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Whitney Ball, Keesler Healthcare Operations Squadron allergy and immunizations technician, prepares to administer an anthrax shot to Senior Airman Aniya Jones, 81st Logistics Readiness Squadron fleet management analyst, during a combat readiness drill at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, Feb. 26, 2026. The drill tested the installation’s ability to deploy forces and sustain operations. The scenario simulated Air Education and Training Command Forces backfilling Pacific Air Forces assets that have been forward deployed during the initial outbreak of hostilities with a regional adversary.
