U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Gabriel Elizondo, 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron, clear debris from a crater in Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany’s flightline during a simulated Rapid Airfield Damage Recovery (RADR) scenario during Exercise Swift Saber 25 at Spangdahlem AB, Germany, April 25, 2025. The scenario challenged 52 CES Airmen to conduct RADR in order to repair craters in the surface of Spangdahlem AB’s flightline following a simulated missile attack. 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.
