Ready for anything: Response Kickoff

A U.S. Air Force fire protection specialist assigned to the 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron extends a hose during Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 21, 2025. Spangdahlem AB’s fire protection specialists responded to the simulated detonation and other chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents throughout the exercise to test their ability to cordon off the scenario sites and check for chemical agents in the area. Exercises like Swift Saber 25 strengthen the 52nd Fighter Wing’s warfighting capabilities by validating Agile Combat Employment concepts such as rapid threat response, dispersed operations and mission generation in contested environments.
