A U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II
assigned to the 356th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron takes off at
Palau International Airport and upon return U.S. Airmen assigned to
the 354th Air Expeditionary Wing and Marines assigned to the Marine
Wing Support Squadron 372 conduct a hot pit refueling in support of
Valiant Shield 22 (VS22).
Exercises like VS22 allow forces across the
Indo-Pacific the opportunity to integrate Navy, Marine Corps, Army,
Air Force, and Space Force to train in precise, lethal, and
overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the
strength and versatility of the Joint Force.
