    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Dakota Chalmers, a powerline mechanic with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 242, Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, observes preflight inspections in support of Valiant Shield 26 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, June 22, 2026. Exercises like Valiant Shield allow Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the joint force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. Chalmers is a native of Arkansas. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Alejandra Vega)
