Lieutenant General Stephen Jost and Chief Master Sergeant Shaun Campbell welcome the 5th Air Force. The 5th AF is the U.S. Air Force’s oldest continuously serving numbered air force, delivering more than 75 years of air power in the Pacific since 1941. Nicknamed the “Fighting Fifth” for its combat legacy, the current mission focuses on deterring aggression and maintaining regional stability. Across three main bases, 5th Air Force works closely with joint services and the Japan Self-Defense Forces to defend Japan, respond to contingencies, and strengthen the U.S.-Japan Security Alliance. Together, they ensure a strong and visible presence in the Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Air Force video by Yasuo Osakabe)
Illuminated by the glow of the full moon, three defenders assigned to the 374th Security Forces Squadron moved out in full battle rattle and rifles poised. The final phase of the four day fly-away security course commenced– a field training exercise that would determine their readiness to serve as fly-away security team leads, March 14.
The 374th Logistics Readiness Squadron Vehicle Management Flight was named the U.S. Air Force Vehicle Management Team of the Year for their exceptional support, innovation, and mission impact across U.S. Pacific Air Forces.
