Ready for anything: Explosive Threat Contained

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Samuel Sobolewski, 52nd Security Forces Squadron flight sergeant, runs to secure the perimeter near a simulated explosion during Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 23, 2025. First responders honed their skills while responding to simulated explosive devices, showcasing their ability to respond quickly to threats. Exercises like Swift Saber 25 strengthen the 52nd FW’s warfighting capabilities by validating Agile Combat Employment concepts such as rapid threat response, dispersed operations and mission generation in contested environments.
