BB26-1: Airmen respond to simulated grounded drone

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Colton Mielke, left, 18th Security Forces Squadron patrolman, and Tech. Sgt. Selena Miranda, 18th SFS flight chief, conducts a sweep in a cordoned area of a simulated grounded drone during readiness exercise BB26-1 at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Aug. 3, 2026. Simulations such as these replicate the unpredictable nature of real-world operations and reinforce the importance of mission-ready Airmen who can respond effectively in high-pressure situations.
