More than 1,200 military and civilian experts from 41 countries will begin Combined Endeavor 2006 on May 12 in Germany and Bosnia, marking the largest security cooperation and communications military exercise in the world. “The exercise is creating the future of military communications worldwide and is a clear demonstration of true phase-zero warfighting,” said Air Force Brig. Gen. Thomas Verbeck, director of US European Command’s international interoperability, concepts, and experimentation directorate.
Both Air Force Special Operations Command and the main contractor for the OA-1K Skyraider II are testing a new use for the modified cropduster: cruise missile carrier.
