A U.S. Air Force Airman wears an 822nd Base Defense Squadron “Safeside” patch during a counter-small unmanned aerial systems (CsUAS) capability and development training at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, May 7, 2026. The 820th Base Defense Group’s (BDG) emphasis on CsUAS training reflects a broader shift toward integrated base defense operations that combine awareness, detection and response capabilities into a cohesive framework.
