Yin Pu, 432nd Civil Engineer Squadron, moves a simulated drone during an Explosive Ordnance Disposal exercise during Silver Flag March 10, 2026, at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Silver Flag covered a wide range of critical skills, including airfield damage repair, response to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, lodging operations, and mortuary affairs. This iteration was also the first time the force support career field rejoined their civil engineer and logistics readiness counterparts in three years. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt. Amber R.
