U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Tristan Storms, a 525th Aircraft Maintenance Unit crew chief, talks to the pilot before launching an F-22 Raptor during Polar Force 22-4 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, March 30, 2022. This is the first Polar Force to be led by the 3rd Wing, with the primary focus on developing Agile Combat Employment and the U.S. Pacific Air Forces’ ability to fight in a contested, anti-access area denial environment. Operationalizing readiness-enhancing concepts like ACE is critical to ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Emily Farnsworth)
