Interoperability is a key component of the collective ability to address global security challenges. Exercise Swift Strike aims to strengthen interoperability for American and Canadian air controllers and air battle managers.
"War is dynamic. It doesn't happen on a script," said Royal Canadian Air Force Capt. Dennis Williams, 42 Radar Squadron instructor air battle manager. "Having these opportunities to integrate fully with our partners benefits everyone in the end. You need to be able to go to war next to someone who is at the same level and in the same mindset as you."
Swift Strike is a bilateral exercise between the U.S. Air Force and the RCAF, hosted by the 607th Air Control Squadron. The 401 Tactical Fighter Squadron and the 42 RS from the 4 Wing, Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada, participated in the exercise at Luke Air Force Base, Nov. 15 – Dec. 9.
