Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni

The U.S. Air force 354th Air Expeditionary Wing
and Marine Aircraft Group 12 performed a
capabilities demonstration during a pre-planned
readiness exercise at Marine Corps Air Station
Iwakuni, Japan, July 7, 2022. The demonstration
included five U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornets,
eight F-35B Lightning IIs, a KC-130J Super
Hercules, 10 U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors and 10
F-35A Lightning II aircraft, showcasing a high
level of readiness and joint service capability in
support of a free and open Indo-Pacific. MCAS
Iwakuni is uniquely qualified to enable the Joint
Force, be it through providing use of the station's
collocated harbor and airfield, serving as a
staging point for non-organic aircraft operations,
or any number of other operational activities.
