U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen Joel Carey, 5th Air Force incoming commander, renders the first salute as commander during a change of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, March 24, 2026. 5 AF's commander separation is designed to enable more flexible joint and bilateral operations with the JASDF. This shift to a more distributed and resilient posture will enhance the alliance's ability to deter threats and respond to crises together. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class David S. Calcote)
