57th WG

Aggressors - We provide a training adversary element specialising in REDFOR tactics.

DCS ANZUS

Our Story

The 57th Wing provides adversary aircraft for the other ANZUS Squadrons. Our aim is to create realistic threat while allowing the BLUFOR players to win the day if their tactics are sound.
We specialise in Air to Air operations with the aim to replicate foreign tactics from 4th generation BVR threats to 3rd generation missile and gun BFM.
We fly both the 64th FS F-16C and the NAWDC F/A-18C aircraft requiring squadron pilots to be capable in both airframes.
Pilots are generally drawn from existing ANZUS squadrons, and a sound knowledge of tactical flying is required prior to being considered for the squadron.

Flight Schedule

Training
The 57th WG has no scheduled training nights and will work with other squadrons to supplement their training activities. When required ad-hoc training will be conducted to refine co-ordination and tactics prior to providing REDFOR training services.   

Operations
We do not normally participate in the Wing PvE campaign style missions, and will generally fly with another squadron if a slot is available.
