A U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor assigned to the 3rd Wing takes off in front of 8th Fighter Wing F-16 Fighting Falcons, a 5th Bomb Wing B-52 Stratofortress, and a 22nd Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotanker at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, July 26, 2023. Alaska's geographic location makes it a strategic power projection platform for the United States, with Alaska being the closest U.S. location to the center of the Northern Hemisphere and therefore singularly closer to many national capitals in the hemisphere than most points in the Lower 48 states.
