WASHINGTON, July 29, 2004 -- The Air Force is hosting an experiment at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., through Aug. 5 to test capabilities that may help win the war on terrorism.

The Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment 2004 is the fifth in a series of such experiments that test new technology, concepts and procedures to give combined air- and space-operations centers an added edge.

Many concepts pioneered in these experiments proved themselves in combat over Afghanistan and Iraq, said Air Force Lt. Gen. William T. Hobbins, deputy chief of staff for warfighting integration.
