U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II aircraft prepare for flight during RED FLAG-Alaska 26-3 at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Aug. 19, 2026. Homeland defense requires layered, integrated operations extending beyond U.S. borders, coordinated across combatant commands and with allied and partner forces. RF-A provides realistic air combat training to sustain that capability and support power projection. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kelsey Tucker)
