U.S. Army Reserve Pfc. Michael Losefo, Forward Support Company, 411th Engineer Battalion, 303rd Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, 9th Mission Support Command, connects a fuel hose to a U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning II from the 4th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron during refueling operations in support of Exercise Valiant Shield 2026 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, June 22, 2026. Army forward support units worked alongside Air Force personnel to demonstrate joint interoperability and sustainment capabilities during the multinational exercise. 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.
