A kinetic live-fire drone, operated by Green Berets with U.S. Army 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), U.S. Special Operations Command Europe, prepares for takeoff for a strike mission during Exercise Deep Strike at Grafenwoehr, Germany, May 2, 2026. They employed the drone strike after moving undetected through a 150-kilometer simulated hostile zone. Training in realistic, geographically denied terrains ensures U.S. SOF and NATO forces are prepared to respond rapidly to emerging threats while maintaining collective defense.
