The U.S. Air Force’s 31st Fighter Wing, stationed at Aviano Air Base in Italy, is set to participate in Anatolian Eagle 25, a multinational exercise hosted at the 3rd Main Jet Base in Konya, Türkiye, from June 23 to July 4. 

The exercise brings together NATO Allies to enhance interoperability and deliver realistic air combat training. F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 510th Fighter Squadron will engage in complex scenarios focused on refining tactics, responding to advanced threats, and developing combat-ready forces.

Brig. Gen. Tad D. Clark, 31st Fighter Wing commander, noted the value of the event, having previously participated in 2004. He emphasized the opportunity to enhance combat skills and affirm the U.S. commitment to regional stability alongside Turkish and NATO forces.

Anatolian Eagle 25 supports NATO’s collective defense objectives, enabling forces to operate in contested environments and address anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) threats effectively.
