The paratrooper exercise prepares the group by practicing and demonstrating readiness for all scenarios in a seamless, joint combat environment. Approximately 15,000 U.S. service members are participating in a joint training exercise hosted by U.S. Pacific Air Forces May 3-14, 2021, on and above the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, the Gulf of Alaska, and temporary maritime activities area. Northern Edge 2021 is one in a series of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command exercises designed to sharpen the joint forces’ skills; to practice tactics, techniques, and procedures; to improve, command, control and communication relationships; and to develop cooperative plans and programs.
