Colombian Air Force (Fuerza Aerea Colombiana) Mayor Oscar Ramos, 111th Fighter Squadron commander, describes Exercise Relampago VI and the benefits of this combined NATO training for both Colombian and U.S. participants at Comando Aereo de Combate Number 5 (CACOM 5) in Rionegro, Colombia, July 14, 2021. U.S. Airmen participating in Relampago VI report to either the 79th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron or 79th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron. Relampago VI is a combined Colombian and U.S. exercise taking place in the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) theater that focuses on techniques, tactics and procedures to strengthen the longstanding partnership between our armed forces. The United States is an enduring, reliable partner with a shared stake in the security and prosperity of the region, and this exercise will improve Colombian and U.S. forces’ capabilities to rapidly deploy and employ forces anywhere around the globe at any moment.
