A U.S. Marine Corps KC-130J Super Hercules aircraft with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152 refuels an F-35B Lightning II aircraft with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 242, both assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, in support of Valiant Shield 2026 over the Pacific Ocean, June 25, 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.
