Aviano Air Base Hosts CROWS Training for Incirlik Airmen
On March 26, 2026, Aviano Air Base conducted CROWS certification training for 10 Airmen from Incirlik Air Base, Türkiye. This initiative enhances base defense capabilities by increasing the number of operators trained to use the system, critical for installation protection.

Aviano Air Base in Italy hosted a CROWS training event for 10 Airmen from the 39th Security Forces Squadron at Incirlik Air Base on March 26, 2026. The training, facilitated by the 31st Security Forces Squadron's Combat Arms Training and Maintenance section, certified operators to use the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station, enhancing both survivability and engagement capabilities.
This certification builds upon a prior instructor course held in June 2025, which aimed at developing a broader training capacity across the European theater. The introduction of CROWS operators at Incirlik enhances its security posture, particularly against emerging threats like unmanned aerial systems. The training's impact is significant for both installations, ensuring a more agile response to potential threats.
