Getting a first hand look at the efforts going into the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program, USAFE Commander Gen. Robert H. “Doc” Foglesong paid a visit to Sheppard AFB, Tex., last week to meet international students and instructors. “I wanted to get a feel of how the program is set up,” Foglesong said. “It’s important and incredibly useful for me to get that hands-on experience.” He added that Sheppard is a fantastic place to hold the program, with great airspace and infrastructure for training.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
