MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan - A Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force US-2 assigned to Air Rescue Squadron (ARS) 71, Fleet Air Wing 31, flies over Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni before conducting a casualty evacuation exercise in support of Valiant Shield 2026 at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, June 22, 2026. Exercises like Valiant Shield allow Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the joint force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
