ELEFSIS AIR BASE, Greece — U.S. and Greek service members arrived for Exercise Stolen Cerberus IV, a routine bilateral training deployment, at Elefsis Air Base, Greece, April 18. “The purpose of this exercise is to improve our C-130J training while building partnership, capacity, and capability with the Hellenic air force here in Greece,” said 1st Lt. Aven Claire Sanders, 37th Airlift Squadron pilot. “We’re focused on up-training and our own improvements with new training techniques and scenarios while working with the Greeks.” Approximately 110 Airmen and three C-130J Super Hercules aircraft from the 37 AS, will participate in the exercise with the Hellenic air force and the U.S. Army until April 28. “It is extremely important that we train and exercise together,” said Capt. Ryan Brooks, mission commander for the exercise. “Not only does it make us better as individual units, but when it comes to moving forward and having to come together as an alliance, we know how each of us are going to act in a certain situation and can execute the intended plan in an effective manner.”
