Army Reserve Expands Combat Support Readiness

Exercise Mojave Falcon 25 launched May 28, 2025, as the U.S. Army Reserve’s largest combat support training to date. Over 9,000 reservists and active-duty Soldiers are participating across sites in California, including Fort Hunter Liggett, Fort Irwin, and the Port of Long Beach. 

The 16-day operation includes more than 160 units using 2,000 vehicles. Soldiers are engaging in live fire, casualty evacuation, logistics transport, and cyber-enabled mission systems like the Joint Battle Command-Platform. The exercise also integrates the Quartermaster Liquid Logistics Exercise (QLLEX) and Nationwide Move, emphasizing fuel tracking, medical support, and supply chain movement. 

Simulated attacks and logistics stresses aim to mirror real-world demands and reinforce large-scale ground combat readiness. Planners say the realistic challenges allow Soldiers to reconnect with battlefield logistics under pressure.
