    U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Jacob Mclaughlin, 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron fire protection specialist, dons a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) as he responds to a simulated chemical attack as part of Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 21, 2025. Spangdahlem AB’s fire protection specialists responded to simulated chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) incidents during the combat readiness exercise to test their ability to cordon the sites of the scenarios and test 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.
