A P2V-5 Neptune maritime patrol aircraft of Patrol Squadron One (VP-1) leaves Atsugi, Japan, for a routine patrol over the Sea of Japan, Sept. 12, 1952. The Neptune was replaced in squadron service by the P-3 Orion and finally the P-8A Poseidon in 2019. 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. NE21 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.
