U.S. Army Soldiers and NATO allies operate unmanned aircraft systems during the U.S. Army Europe and Africa Best Drone Warfighter Competition at Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, Dec. 8-11, 2025. Teams from eight USAREUR-AF units synchronized intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and first-person-view (FPV) platforms while executing reconnaissance and strike missions, validating emerging tactics, techniques and procedures, and navigating aerial and land navigation and obstacle courses. Evaluations included aerial reconnaissance and strike lanes, FPV performance, team cohesion and an unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) knowledge exam. The competition reinforced the U.S. Army’s commitment to innovation and readiness while building esprit de corps and camaraderie. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Jamie Robinson)
