U.S. Air Force Capt. Thomas Holmes, 493rd Fighter Squadron pilot, discusses Combat Archer-UK 26 at RAF Lakenheath, England, July 28, 2026. Combat Archer-UK 26 brought live-fire air-to-air weapons certification directly to RAF Lakenheath, enabling aircrews to validate mission-essential capabilities at home station in a realistic operational environment. The exercise strengthened combat readiness by certifying weapons employment, refining tactical proficiency and ensuring the Liberty Wing remains prepared to generate lethal, combat-ready airpower in support of NATO operations.
