    Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson   

    A Japan Air Self-Defense Force C-130 Hercules prepares to take off from the Malemute Drop Zone during exercise Red Flag-Alaska 25-2 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, June 17, 2025. This exercise dates back to 1975. Initially, the PACAF-sponsored exercise was held at Clark Air Base, Philippines, but was moved in 1992 when Mount Pinatubo erupted, forcing curtailment of operations there. The exercise was originally called Cope Thunder, and in 2006 it became Red Flag-Alaska. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Moises Vasquez)
