U.S. Air Force Capt. Nick Mondragon, 480th Fighter Squadron F-16 fighter pilot, and Airman 1st Class Shane Ross, 480th Fighter Generation Squadron crew chief, conducts preflight checks of an F-16 Fighting Falcon during Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 24, 2025. Pilots and maintainers were challenged by various scenarios that enhanced their readiness abilities during a simulated air attack. Exercises like Swift Saber 25 strengthen the 52nd Fighter Wing’s warfighting capabilities by validating Agile Combat Employment concepts, including rapid threat response, dispersed operations and mission generation in contested environments.
