In what the U.S. Army Reserve is calling its “Super Bowl,” more than 9,000 soldiers are preparing to take part in the service’s largest training exercise to date.

Dubbed Operation Mojave Falcon, this unprecedented event begins in late May and spans coast-to-coast, combining four major exercises designed to sharpen combat-readiness, logistical coordination, and real-world mission execution in a simulated large-scale conflict.

The operation brings together troops and units across the country in a highly integrated training scenario that unfolds in multiple states including California, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Soldiers will engage in simultaneous operations at Fort Hunter Liggett, Fort Irwin, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, Fort Bragg, Fort Barfoot, and the Port of Long Beach.

At the heart of Operation Mojave Falcon are four integrated exercises: Combat Support Training Exercise, National Training Center Global Medic, Quartermaster Liquid Logistics Exercise, and Nationwide Move.

These elements are designed to push Army Reserve units through “tough, realistic training in a combat-like environment involving real-world missions and events,” according to an Army Reserve release.

The 79th Theater Sustainment Command, headquartered at Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, California, leads the overall training effort, working closely with the 91st Training Division at Fort Hunter Liggett and the 807th Theater Medical Command out of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Several other one-star-level commands and supporting units are also contributing to the endeavor.

“We’re continuing this momentum but really putting in practice so that we’re proving we can do LSCO [Large-Scale Combat Operations] and that’s the design behind this whole [exercise],” said Maj. Gen. Dianne Del Rosso, commanding general of the 79th Theater Sustainment Command.

The largest portion of Mojave Falcon will take place at Fort Hunter Liggett and Fort Irwin in California — with Fort Irwin also home to the National Training Center, where service members will engage in platform live fires, complex logistical maneuvers, and transportation of critical supplies to notional warfighters.

Elsewhere, soldiers will execute complementary training missions.

For example, troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey will be tested on their ability to function in distributed and austere conditions.

Units at the Port of Long Beach will conduct joint maritime operations with the U.S. Navy, simulating cargo movement under enemy fire as part of a realistic roll-on/roll-off logistics drill.

“It’s an amazing opportunity for us to not only build combat readiness but also making sure that we’re doing that as a balanced Army with all our different components,” Del Rosso emphasized.

One of the most high-stakes components of the exercise, Global Medic, will see Army medical personnel operating in austere and hostile simulated environments. The goal: provide battlefield medical support under extreme pressure, including casualty care and medical evacuations.

“Building combat-ready formations is high risk,” Del Rosso said. “It’s high reward and the camaraderie is worth it because you have trust in the person for your life, and that’s like no other job.”

Meanwhile, the Quartermaster Liquid Logistics Exercise will task soldiers with transporting and distributing essential bulk fuel and water across five key regions — spanning the West Coast, Midwest, East Coast, and southern U.S. Soldiers will be challenged to perform these operations under simulated enemy threats, ensuring fluid logistics support under combat conditions.

The Nationwide Move element of Mojave Falcon involves critical transport missions using M915 line-haul vehicles. Soldiers will move containers filled with equipment and supplies across the country in convoys and via rail to support other training segments.

These long-haul operations will help simulate the type of logistical maneuvers needed in real-time combat support scenarios.

Another core aspect of the operation is the integration and testing of new mission command information systems.

Troops will employ the Joint Battle Command-Platform and the Command Post Computing Environment to maintain seamless communications across the entire multi-state exercise — a key requirement in modern large-scale combat.

Mojave Falcon is more than just an exercise; it is a proving ground for the U.S. Army Reserve’s ability to synchronize across units, states, and disciplines in order to meet the demands of modern warfare.

With integrated logistics, medical response, joint operations, and real-time mission command capabilities all on display, the Army Reserve is sending a clear message: it is combat-ready, cohesive, and capable of responding to large-scale threats, anytime, anywhere.
