NATO Allies are ready for timely and coordinated responses during peacetime and crisis. U.S. forces train together with our NATO Allies to ensure that readiness. One of those trainings, called “Chasing Sol”, recently was completed in Spain.
The U.S. Air Force upholds the NATO Air Shielding mission to keep the skies over NATO’s eastern flank and all NATO Allies safe.
NATO’s Air Shielding mission is an increased air and missile defense posture along the Alliance’s eastern flank, implemented in the wake of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.
Allies have deployed more fighter jets and ground-based air and missile defense systems to protect against possible air and missile threats. This is a key component of NATO's enhanced deterrence and defense posture.
NATO’s Air Shielding involves deployments ranging from a few weeks to several months at air bases and key locations in the eastern part of the Alliance.
