The US Air Force conducted a large drill to simulate an invasion of foreign territory in Nevada over the weekend.

A slew of cargo-carrying C-17 and C-130 aircraft were detected flying in a "conga line" for an exercise called Joint Forcible Entry 18, which took place in the southwest region of the US, The Drive reports. The point of the drill is to rehearse an operation in which air and ground forces cross into foreign territory en masse and set up shop against an armed, world-class adversary.

​Aircraft trackers like CivMilAir provided some snapshots of what kinds of aircraft were flying and what their positions were during the exercise, which was held December 8.
