Pentagon chief announces $1B more for Air Force training in budget

The increase will include funds for training and exercises, including at least 34 red and green flag exercises over five years, for an average of nearly seven a year beginning 2017.
[...]
Currently, the Air Force conducts red flag exercises [...] four times a year. Defense cuts brought that number down to three in 2013 and 2014, but the Air Force was able to bring that number up to four in 2015 and 2016.
