U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors assigned to the 3rd Wing approach the runway in front of waiting 354th Fighter Wing F-35 Lightning IIs 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.
