U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 3rd Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment and the 602nd Aviation Brigade, 2ID Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division, conduct munitions staging and sustainment preparations during a validation exercise (VALEx) as part of Talon Reach in support of Freedom Shield at an undisclosed location, March 10, 2026. Over the past 72 hours, the brigade set the theater by establishing distributed sustainment across the peninsula, activating Forward Arming and Refueling Points (FARPs), and positioning combat aviation munitions to support Apache precision fire missions. These efforts enable the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade to rapidly position combat power and execute an air movement of more than 1,100 miles while maintaining aviation forces ready to fight across the Korean Peninsula.
