U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Angel Caliz and Spc. Jonah Burks, assigned to the 2d Cavalry Regiment, discuss their participation and success in the U.S. Army Best Drone Fighter Competition during an interview at Grafenwoehr Training Area, Bavaria, Germany, March 12, 2026. The competition brings together soldiers from across the force to test their proficiency in operating and countering unmanned aerial systems through a series of tactical scenarios, technical evaluations, and timed challenges. The event highlights the Army’s focus on integrating small drone technology into modern warfare and developing Soldiers’ skills to detect, track, and defeat aerial threats on the battlefield.
