Spanish Air Force
The Spanish Air Force has deemed it necessary to prepare and train the 12th Wing to be an elite unit protecting Madrid, the Spanish capital. Training would be undertaken over the next couple of weeks to prepare the unit ready for immediate deployment as a 'Rapid Deployment Wing' - one of many to be trained in the Spanish Air Force. The 12th Wing which includes 200 Regular Personnel and 10 General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon's would be receiving the training in the exercise. The Spanish Air Force has also commanded the 37th Wing with 50 Regular Personnel and a singular CASA C-212 Aviocar being utilised for the exercise.
The Spanish Air Force will test the 12th Wing in a number of different simulation scenarios along the period of the exercise and if they did not pass tests at the end of the exercise, they could face dismissal from the Spanish Air Force completely.
