Grizzly Gauntlet

U.S. Air Force Airmen compete in blended teams during a weapons loading competition composed of the 163d, 174th, and 119th Wings during the annual Grizzly Gauntlet, March Air Reserve Base, Calif., July 30, 2026. Five units participated in the week Grizzly Gauntlet competition not only designed to test skills like proficiency, safety and teamwork but also to build relationships within the MQ-9 Reaper community to help each unit seamlessly integrate on current and future missions. The blended team tested joint force integration and identified variances in unit skills and training to subsequently make necessary changes to unit training and employment.
