91st Missile Wing performs Bully Vigilance 25-1 exercise

From July 9 -17, 2025, Airmen from the 91st Missile Wing put their skills to the test during Bully Vigilance 25-1, a Full Mission Profile (FMP) exercise held in conjunction with an inspector general-led evaluation.

The FMP, a recurring large-scale training event, challenged Airmen through simulated combat scenarios designed to improve response, communication, and put leadership in high pressure situations. The exercise, primarily focused on the 91st Missile Security Operation Squadron’s (MSOS) convoy operations and identifying unauthorized equipment in secured areas, was part of the 91st Missile Wing’s ongoing efforts to maintain mission readiness and accountability.

“We want to put them under the most rigorous training possible, something we can’t do day-to-day,” said Senior Airman Troy White, 91st MSOS convoy team lead. “Real stimuli, real reactions, real growth.”

White has participated in over a dozen FMPs, including helping design the last three. The team regularly incorporates simulated explosions, tactical maneuvers, and role-played threats to enhance realism and decision-making under stress.

“The best don’t come north,” said White. “You come to the north to become the best.”

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Christopher Jungewaelter, 91st MSOS convoy flight chief, emphasized the importance of exercises like these in preparing for evolving global threats.

“My troops need to be ready for anything. Look at what’s happening in the world and the technology our adversaries are using,” said White. “This is how we stay sharp.”

While coordination with external evaluators brought unique challenges, Jungewaelter praised his team’s flexibility and initiative highlighting one Airman First Class who confidently redirected two Staff Sergeants to a better tactical solution mid-exercise.

“That kind of leadership, from junior Airmen, is what impresses me most,” said Jungewaelter. “They continue to exceed expectations.”

With 15 years of experience on the team, Jungewaelter reflected on the mission’s importance.

“This is the number one mission in the Department of Defense when we’re out there,” said Jungewaelter. “And I remind my team of that every time we step out of the building.”
