USAFE and
AFSOC teams have been conducting training exercises at different Estonian airfields involving close-air defense, basic fighter maneuvers and suppression of the enemy's air defense.
To meet the FTU's needs,
AFSOC is already requesting to double the number of Reserve crews.
Originally, the effort was an 18-month acquisition experiment to rapidly assess and field new capabilities on a limited number of
AFSOC aircraft.
Meanwhile,
AFSOC has decreased scheduled inspection requirements significantly by expanding the window between its ISOs.

The V-22 Osprey has been continuously deployed since entering service in 2007 with the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the Air Force Special Operations Command (
AFSOC).
In comparison, the last gunship acquisition program, the AC-130U, took 11 years after the program was initiated to deliver the first modified aircraft to the Air Force Special Operations Command (
AFSOC).
The administrative control (ADCON) line runs from AFSOF through the senior Air Force Special Operations Command (
AFSOC) officer in-theater, normally the COMAFSOF, to the COMAFSOC.
