The WSEP combines the live air-to-air missile firing of Combat Archer and the air-to-ground bomb drops of Combat Hammer. The exercise is designed to test each participating units' WSEP, determine reliability, evaluate capability and limitations, identify deficiencies, recommend corrective action and maintain combat readiness.
