    A-10 Thunderbolt IIs taxi down the runway before taking off for a close air support and forward air control training mission Sept. 10, during Ramstein Rover 2012 here. RARO12 is a NATO-partnership building exercise involving more than 16 nations. A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from the 81st FS are participating in the exercise to provide close air support to partnering nations and practice forward air control missions with their NATO allies in international security assistance force realistic scenarios. Participating in exercises like RARO12 ensures effective employment of airpower in support of alliance or coalition forces while mitigating risks to civilians in contingency operations.
