Atsumi Iwao, mayor of Higashimatsushima city, meets with the pilots of two U.S. Air Force F-16’s deployed with South Dakota Air National Guard’s 175th Fighter Squadron after they land in support of Exercise Valiant Shield 24, Matsushima Air Base, Japan, June 13, 2024. These U.S. F-16’s were the first ever to land at this Japan Air Self-Defense Force base; several Japanese media, city officials, and military leaders gathered to witness the historic moment. Exercises such as Valiant Shield allows 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.
