Hammer

A 4th Fighter Wing F-15E Strike Eagle releases a Guided Bomb Unit-24 over the Utah Test and Training Range during a Combat Hammer mission May 5 near Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Combat Hammer, an air-to-ground weapons system evaluation program, is maintained by the 86th Fighter Weapons Squadron. The WSEP program is used to evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of combat air force weapon systems.
