00:00.129 --> 00:02.650
From May 18th to the 21st , the 31st

00:02.650 --> 00:04.872
Fighter Wing conducted Exercise Radiant

00:04.872 --> 00:07.269
Falcon 26 at Aviano Airbase , Italy .

00:07.409 --> 00:09.298
The exercise evaluated the wing's

00:09.298 --> 00:11.430
ability to respond to a radiological

00:11.430 --> 00:13.652
incident while sustaining lethal flight

00:13.652 --> 00:15.541
line operations in a contaminated

00:15.541 --> 00:17.541
environment . During the training ,

00:17.541 --> 00:19.263
airmen responded to a scenario

00:19.263 --> 00:21.486
involving an aircraft that flew through

00:21.486 --> 00:23.430
a radioactive plume . Teams set up

00:23.430 --> 00:25.652
contamination control areas . monitored

00:25.652 --> 00:27.597
radiation exposure , inspected and

00:27.597 --> 00:29.486
decontaminated the aircraft , and

00:29.486 --> 00:31.152
worked to safely return it to

00:31.152 --> 00:33.374
operations . The training also included

00:33.374 --> 00:35.374
blackout ops , where teams operated

00:35.374 --> 00:37.708
without power or digital communications ,

00:37.708 --> 00:39.763
relying on manual tracking methods ,

00:39.763 --> 00:41.486
paper forms , and face to face

00:41.486 --> 00:43.652
coordination to complete the mission .

00:43.652 --> 00:45.763
Radium Falcon 26 validated the wing's

00:45.763 --> 00:47.763
ability to adapt and sustain combat

00:47.763 --> 00:48.130
airpower in any environment .
