The next generation of NATO air forces is training in Texas: Young people from 14 NATO countries are practicing emergency situations together at Sheppard Air Force Base. They are supposed to defend the alliance in the event of an attack from the air. Soldiers from the various NATO countries have been coming here for over 60 years. They learn to fly fighter planes and develop an understanding of the relevance of NATO and international cooperation.
