U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II pilots with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Rein.), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, fly alongside a Royal Australian Air Force KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transport pilot during a fixed-wing aerial refueling exercise as part of Talisman Sabre 23, over the Coral Sea, July 24, 2023. The F-35B Lightning II combines the agility of a fighter with stealth and electronic attack capabilities, showcasing the technical progression of Marine Corps aviation in support of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. Talisman Sabre sends a deliberate message of combined strength and integrated detterence. Deterrence prevents conflicts and enhances regional security through four pillars: capability, posture, will and signaling. Talisman Sabre is the largest bilateral military exercise between Australia and the United States advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific by strengthening capabilities to respond to a wide array of potential security concerns.
