U.S. Air Force and Royal Netherlands Air Force assets also participated in a mission thread involving the defense of Ramstein Air Base, Germany. This second demonstration occurred simultaneously with the targeting demonstration and tested the ability for the joint and combined force to sense and target unmanned aerial systems and cruise missile attacks against the base. Dutch F-35 Lightning IIs also participated in the demonstration as communication links between base defense arrays as well as the 10th Army Air Missile Defense Command.
U.S. Space Force also supported the demonstration with one Multiband Assessment of the Communication Environment from the 16th Space Control Squadron, Peterson-Schriever Garrison, Colorado.

AUSTIN, Texas It’s been three months since Pvt. Richard Halliday went missing from Fort Bliss. Despite a dozen agencies in two countries taking part in the investigation, there’s still no clear evidence to determine how or why the 21-year-old disappeared from the west Texas base. “We have not gotten the help that I think the military should give us, especially since they failed to reach us and make us aware of our son’s absence,” said Patricia Halliday, the soldier’s mother. Halliday’s whereabouts were unknown for about a month before his parents, Patricia and Rob Halliday, knew their son was missing. For another month, they trusted the Army was using every opportunity to search for him, despite unit leaders believing Halliday deliberately left the base July 24, his mother said.
