    U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Michael Ditore, 18th Wing command chief, observes the flightline during a training exercise April 12, 2017, at Kadena Air Base, Japan. Ditore observed the execution of a flightline elephant walk displaying the aircraft of the 18th Wing. Because of the changing nature of warfare, Airmen of the 18th Wing can fight from anywhere, at any time, and exercises like this ensure they are ready to execute the mission.
