    Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211, Carrier Strike Group 21, pull chalks and chains off an F-35B Lightning II aboard Her Majesty’s Ship Queen Elizabeth for an Exercise Falcon Strike 21 mission in the Mediterranean Sea. Falcon Strike 21 is a multinational military training exercise, designed to enhance fourth and fifth generation fighter integration, combat readiness and fighting capability. This year’s exercise is hosted by Italy and will provide Israeli, Italian, British and U.S. forces the opportunity to test and improve shared technical and tactical knowledge, while conducting complex air operations in a multinational, joint force environment. The scenarios are created to be a challenging arena for aircrews and support teams, focusing on high valuable air asset protection/attack operations, air interdiction with strategic and tactical multi-surface to air missile handling, digital close air support with the support of ground forces, as well as dynamic targeting and escorted convoy attack.
