20 Airmen from the 52nd Fighter Wing participated in an ADM-160C Miniature Air-Launched Decoy, or MALD, and AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface-Standoff-Missile, or JASSM, generation exercise at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 27, 2021.
Capt. Thomas Dequeant, 52nd Maintenance Squadron Operations Officer, said the event had Airmen load three live assets onto a stationary U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon, also known as a “Viper”, to help better prepare Airmen from start to finish.
“This exercise is operations and maintenance building proficiency on how to go from the initial planning all the way to the point where the loaded aircraft would normally depart,” Dequeant said. “These are the assets at the heart of the 52nd Fighter Wing’s Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses, or SEAD, mission.”
