Capt. Kyle Swenson and Lt. Col. Dave Drane, both U.S. Air Force Reserve pilots assigned to the 459th Air Refueling Wing, Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, perform their preflight checks at Rovaniemi Air Base, Finland, as they prepare to provide air-to-air refueling during Arctic Challenge Exercise 2021, June 14. ACE 21 is a joint, multinational exercise conducted every other year, giving invited nations an opportunity to participate in cross Border Training in northern parts of the Nordic countries. CBT events are cost-efficient exercises where the respective nations’ fighter jets operating from their home bases meet in the air to practice a variety of scenarios in a unique airspace. We are able to maintain a global presence through the combined efforts of our active duty, National Guard and Reserve Partners. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Paul Abacon)
