An "important change is the remotely piloted aircraft here are now operated by both contractors and U.S. military personnel," said Air Force Brig. Gen. Greg Semmel, Air National Guard assistant to the commander of United States Air Forces in Europe-Africa (USAFE), in the release. "This flexibility allows for the addition of new missions, and having U.S. military personnel expands the variety of missions we can accomplish."
