The 52nd Fighter Wing conducted Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 21-25, 2025. The combat readiness exercise simulated a contested, rapidly evolving environment that challenged 52nd FW Airmen in scenarios such as ground and air attacks, mass casualty events, communications outages, damage to critical infrastructure, reception of follow-on forces and natural disasters. Exercises like Swift Saber 25 strengthen the wing's warfighting capabilities by validating Agile Combat Employment concepts such as rapid threat response, dispersed operations, and mission generation in non-permissive conditions.
