YOKOSUKA, Japan (June 24, 2026) — Emergency Medical Technicians assigned to U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka assist in transporting simulated casualties from a Japan Ground Self-Defense Force CH-47 Chinook helicopter during a bilateral patient transfer exercise at Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka in support of VALIANT SHIELD 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.
