Misawa Air Base, Japan --

Exercise Beverly Sunrise (BS) 21-08 was a week-long exercise that allowed Team Misawa to test their Agile Combat Employment (ACE) and Multi-Capable Airmen (MCA) in simulated real-world scenarios.

Airmen established two simulated deployed locations, a forward operating base and preformed exercise such as a simulated mass casualty scenario.

Overall Exercise BS 21-08 enhanced the 35th Fighter Wing’s innovation, resilience and combat readiness, preparing a lethal and ready force that can protect the Indo-Pacific region from threats and deter adversaries at a moment’s notice.
