U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 12th Combat Aviation Brigade conduct Operation Skyfall, a training exercise designed to advance the Eastern Flank Defense Line concept through demonstrated Counter‑Unmanned Aerial Systems (C‑UAS) capabilities, March 18, 2026. Operation Skyfall strengthens the brigade’s ability to counter emerging aerial threats by refining tactics, integrating modern technologies, and validating innovative approaches to C‑UAS employment. The exercise highlights 12th CAB’s commitment to modernization, experimentation, and operational readiness as U.S. Army Europe and Africa’s premier combat aviation brigade. Through this effort, 12th CAB enhances its capacity to protect forces, maintain dominance in contested environments, and contribute to regional stability alongside NATO allies and partners.
