Airborne support occurred during a Joint Forcible Entry operation, a mission designed to rapidly project combat power into a contested environment and establish access for follow-on forces. RED FLAG-Alaska replicates Indo-Pacific operational conditions, integrating joint and coalition forces in training from simulated forward operating bases to improve response capability across the range of contingencies.
