Gareth Serna, right, air defenders with the 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade, monitor simulated aerial tracks on a display console during an air defense artillery fire control officer qualification event at the U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa Air Warfare Center, Einsiedlerhof Air Station, Germany, Aug. 26, 2026. The computer-simulated Spartan Exercise tested the soldiers' ability to integrate directly with U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps control centers to deconflict airspace and defeat multidirectional airborne threats. The training serves as the only event in Europe where fire control crews earn operational certification while fully linked into live Air Force command systems.
