U.S. Air Force aircraft maintenance personnel from Team JSTARS, Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, prepare to tow an E-8C Joint STARS returning from a night mission in support of Valiant Shield 18 while Airman 1st Class Amanda Bodony, a broadcast journalist with the 116th Air Control Wing (ACW), documents the operation at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Sept. 19, 2018. Valiant Shield 18 is a biennial, U.S.-only, field training exercise with a focus on integration of joint training among U.S. forces in relation to current operational plans. This training enables real-world proficiency in sustaining joint forces through detecting, locating, tracking and engaging units at sea, in the air, on land, and in cyberspace in response to a range of mission areas. Team JSTARS, consisting of the Georgia Air National Guard’s 116th ACW, active duty personnel assigned to the 461st ACW and Army JSTARS, provides a unique, manned, joint airborne command control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capability to combatant commanders worldwide.
