Michael Kott, an ordnance technician with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 115, conducts a preflight inspection on an F/A-18D Hornet aircraft with VMFA-115, in support of Northern Edge (NE) 23-2, at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, July 13, 2023. NE23-2 is a U.S. Indo-Pacific Command exercise designed to practice tactics, techniques, and procedures; to improve command, control and communication relationships; and to improve interoperability of participating forces. As the stand-in force aviation combat element, 1st MAW utilized NE 23-2 to establish robust kill webs and bridge Marine aviation command and control (C2), sensor, and shooter capabilities across the joint force.
