U.S. Air Force Col. D. Landon Phillips, 501st Combat Support Wing (CSW) commander, gives remarks during an inprocessing brief at RAF Fairford, England, Mar. 27, 2025. For two weeks, the 501st Combat Support Wing will host teams from the Turkish and Romanian Air Forces to participate in NATO Allied Air Command's Ramstein Flag 2025 exercise. Ramstein Flag 2025 is a multi-domain, tactical-level live fly exercise to train, demonstrate and advance combined warfare capabilities including agile combat employment, integrated air and missile defense, and counter anti-access and area denial in a simulated Article 5 scenario. Exercises like RAFL25 are integral to NATO success, allowing Allies and partners to demonstrate their shared commitment to European security. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Jessica Avallone)
