U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron, conduct an unexploded ordnance sweep as part of a simulated Rapid Airfield Damage Recovery (RADR) scenario during Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 25, 2025. The craters were caused by simulated missile strikes on Spangdahlem AB’s flightline, prompting 52 CES Airmen to conduct RADR to enable 52nd Fighter Wing operations to continue. Exercises like Swift Saber 25 strengthen the 52 FW’s warfighting capabilities by validating Agile Combat Employment concepts such as rapid threat response, dispersed operations, and mission generation in contested environments.
