U.S. Airmen from the 961st Airborne Air Control Squadron provide tactical command and control to air units while aboard an E-3 Sentry during Exercise WestPac Rumrunner Oct. 16, 2020, out of Kadena Air Base, Japan. The 961st AACS was a critical piece of the exercise, which focused on defensive counter air capabilities and joint interoperability using agile combat employment concepts. WestPac Rumrunner represents an evolution of joint training in support of the National Defense Strategy. The NDS directs the armed forces to be more lethal, improve relationships with allies and partners and to encourage institutional reform. The exercise provided opportunities to hone critical expeditionary skillsets and increase interoperability in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
