The PACAF Demonstration Team showcased the F-16’s capabilities in support of 7th Air Force’s Super Squadron test, an initiative designed to optimize combat force generation and increase readiness by consolidating aircraft and personnel into a single large unit. This test aims to enhance the combat effectiveness of the ROK-U.S. Alliance and expand sortie generation capacity across the Korean Theater of Operations in support of regional stability.
