U.S. Air Force Gen. Tod D. Wolters, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, arrives to speak with NATO partners and Tactical Air Force Squadron 33 prior to a tour at Buechel Air Base Oct. 17, 2019. Buechel AB visitors viewed the base's unique capabilities and observed a German-Air-Force-led readiness exercise. Exercises are important tools through which NATO tests and validates concepts, procedures, systems and tactics; more broadly, they enable militaries and civilian organisations to test capabilities and practice working together in demanding situations.
