PHILIPPINE SEA (June 14, 2022) Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Alyssa Medina, from Bristol, Conn., conducts pre-flight checks with Rear Adm. J.T. Anderson, commander, Carrier Strike Group 3, inside an F/A-18E Super Hornet, assigned to the “Vigilantes” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 151, on the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) in support of a joint maritime strike rehearsal to demonstrate service components’ fires and effects capabilities in the maritime environment during exercise Valiant Shield 22 (VS 22). Exercises such as Valiant Shield allow the Indo-Pacific Command Joint Task Force the opportunity to integrate force from all branches of service to conduct long-range, precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Joint Task Force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
