Ready for Anything: Primed for the Fight

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Samuel Magura, 52nd Operations Support Squadron Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape noncommissioned officer in charge of operations and training, prepares to simulate an ambush during Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 25, 2025. Simulated opposition forces created dynamic threats across the base, forcing defenders to adapt quickly to prevent sabotage and maintain security. 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.
