U.S. European Command, NATO Allies, partners elevate combined spiritual readiness at multinational exchange

U.S. Air Force Maj. Bryan Fox, 86th Airlift Wing Ramstein Chapel chaplain, leads a simulated dignified transfer formation during the third iteration of the U.S. European Command NATO and Partner Religious Affairs Care for the Dead and Dying Subject Matter Exchange at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sept. 2, 2026. The training enabled participants to share and strengthen best practices while building foundational capabilities related to dignified transfers, memorialization and pastoral care. The three-day exchange included in-class and field-based scenarios that honed religious readiness for wounded and fallen service members in large-scale combat scenarios, enhancing Allied and partner interoperability.
