EINSIEDLERHOF AIR STATION, Germany – The 5th Combat Training Squadron hosted its first ever United States-only Spartan Reaper event, July 24-28, 2023 at Einsiedlerhof Air Station in Germany.
SPARTAN REAPER 23-3 is a simulated Strike Coordination and Reconnaissance (SCAR) multilateral exercise, hosted by the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Warfare Center (UAWC).
Four crews trained on the UAWC’s fully networked MQ-9 simulators while “fighting” in a scenario designed and built by UAWC subject matter experts. Participants also conducted AFTTP 3-3 Integrated Planning and Employment (IPE) Mission Planning Cell and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
The UAWC contains multiple fully networked MQ-9 simulators to SCAR and combat search and rescue tactics, techniques, and procedures in scenarios designed and built by the Center’s subject matter experts. Participants were given complex scenarios complete with simulated surface to surface fires and air to surface threat systems. This level of complexity is difficult to achieve and expensive when conducted using live aircraft on a training range. Virtual exercises provide flexibility and efficiency.
The 5 CTS’s mission is to plan, support, and execute live, virtual, and constructive training and exercises at the strategic, operational and tactical levels of war.
