Airmen across U.S. Central Command Air Forces converged in Bahrain for the Weapons and Tactics Conference in July to discuss ways to use airpower and aircraft more effectively, including how to use the RC-135 Rivet Joint better. One of the areas examined was the flow of information between joint tactical attack controllers, weapons platforms like F-16 Fighting Falcons and B-1B Lancers, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft.
