U.S. Army Spc. Denis Foxx, a petroleum supply specialist assigned to the 524th Division Sustainment Support Battalion, 25th Division Sustainment Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, pulls fuel supply nozzle from a fuel servicing truck to refuel an F-22 Raptor assigned to the 27th Fighter Squadron, 1st Fighter Wing during joint refueling operations in support of Valiant Shield 24 at the Tinian International Airport, on Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands, June 12, 2024. Soldiers assigned to the 524th DSSB and U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers assigned to the 371st Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 304th Sustainment Brigade, 311th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), conditioned jet fuel procured from the 8th Theater Sustainment Command before fueling the Raptors. Typically, the Air Force refuels its aircraft, but these operations are intended to solidify joint refueling processes, expanding aviation reach and capabilities across the dispersed Indo-Pacific theater. Exercises such as Valiant Shield allow the Indo-Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Joint Force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
