    Aerostar flight operations team members prepare to launch a high-altitude balloon (HAB) in support of Valiant Shield 2024 at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, Guam, June 10, 2024. HABs provide the U.S. military with long endurance and persistent air-based capabilities that serve as a platform for different payloads such as sensors, communication relays, and weather monitoring systems. Exercises such as Valiant Shield allow the Indo-Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Joint Force and its commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
