About Resolute Castle

Exercise Resolute Castle is a U.S. Army Europe and Africa led, multinational, joint exercise which marries U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard, as well as allied and partner nation engineering unit training opportunities with the completion of real world construction projects that enhance training capabilities in various areas of Europe's eastern member-states. Resolute Castle is designed to reinforce regional partnerships and promote interoperability with host nation forces by providing improvements to existing infrastructure.

Resolute Castle 24 utilizes U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and NATO engineers to increase partner capacity and strengthen capabilities across NATO’s eastern member states through real-world engineer-related training and the expansion of infrastructure in support of defender-series exercises.

Innovating Autonomy
911th Airlift Wing

Airmen with the 911th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron trained with Near Earth Autonomy to conduct autonomous aircraft inspections at Pittsburgh International Airport Air Reserve Station. The training focused on programming drones to perform exterior inspections of a C-17 Globemaster III using a ground control station with CAD overlays to plot flight paths and capture points. The images show Airmen preparing drones for flight, instructors guiding them through mission planning, and close-ups of laptops displaying mapped inspection routes. This innovation allows maintenance crews to safely inspect hard-to-reach areas without climbing on aircraft surfaces, enhancing safety and efficiency. The training reflects the 911th Airlift Wing’s commitment to integrating new technology to maintain mission readiness.
