Listening intently
Pilots listen to a mass briefing during the large force exercise Red Flag-Alaska 17-2 at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, June 7, 2017. U.S. service members from all branches and several air forces from other countries including the Royal Thai, Republic of Korea, Japan Air Self-Defense Force, Finland, Denmark and Israel's air forces work together to improve their tactical fluidity as they work cohesively, executing the objective. Exercises of this nature are vital to maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific theatre and signify our continued commitment to the Pacific.
