While derogatory comments could be made about the work ethic of those assigned to the 121st Fighter Intercept Squadron, what cannot be challenged or derided is the combat ability of the Copperheads Vipers and Mirages.
Stationed at Enzio Air National Guard base in the deserts north of Gracemeria, the 121st has proven time and again to be one of the most combat-effective squadrons within the Air National Guard, challenging the likes of active duty units such as of the 1st or 8th Air Divisions.
Pilots assigned to the Copperheads enjoy a more relaxed nature of the reservist squadron, allowing many the flexibility and stability of civilian life along with their military duties. In every military readiness drill though, the 121st has been able to rise to the occasion, and time will tell if this streak will continue into a real conflict.
