Seaman Cole Ring, from Kernersville, North Carolina, gives the hand signal for “hold” as the launch signalman for an MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to the “Golden Falcons” of Helicopter Combat Squadron (HSC) 12, on the flight deck of the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), during Exercise Keen Sword 17 (KS17). Ronald Reagan is participating in KS17, a biennial, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed, U.S. Pacific Command-sponsored field-training exercise. KS17 is designed to meet mutual defense objectives by increasing combat readiness and interoperability between U.S. forces and the Japan Self Defense Force. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Five (CSG 5), is on patrol in the Philippine Sea supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
