MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan (AFNS) — \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pacific Air Forces<\/a><\/strong>, alongside U.S. allies and partners, launched Resolute Force Pacific 2025<\/a><\/strong>, the largest contingency response exercise ever conducted by the U.S. Air Force in the Indo-Pacific region, July 10.\u00a0
\u00a0
REFORPAC will involve more than 300 aircraft and feature U.S. Air Force members alongside colleagues from partner nations and other branches of the U.S. military. The exercise aims to demonstrate PACAF\u2019s ability to generate, sustain and adapt airpower in a contested environment while working alongside regional allies.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cThis exercise is about sharpening our edge and proving that our Airmen can project combat airpower anytime, anywhere, alongside our allies,\u201d said Col. Paul Davidson<\/a><\/strong>, 35th Fighter Wing commander. \u201cThis wing is all-in, showing what contingency readiness looks like in the Pacific Theater.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
Standing up in support of REFORPAC, the 35th Air Expeditionary Wing is composed of Misawa Air Base<\/a><\/strong> personnel and temporary duty members from multiple installations around the globe. The 35th AEW is playing a pivotal role by generating sorties, enabling agile combat employment, and sustaining high-tempo operations from one of the Air Force\u2019s northernmost forward locations. Teams across the wing are executing critical tasks such as flightline operations, munitions loading, hot-pit refueling, combat search and rescue training, and distributed logistics support.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0
These efforts contribute directly to the exercise\u2019s focus on contested operations and rapid adaptation, ensuring U.S. and allied forces can fight under degraded conditions, move quickly and sustain missions without guaranteed access to traditional logistics and infrastructure.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cWe recently stood up the new 35th Munitions Squadron, merged our fighter squadrons into one cohesive unit, and started sharing our resources with participating REFORPAC units,\u201d Davidson said. \u201cTogether with our Japanese allies, we\u2019re testing our combined capabilities to defend Japan from any adversary.”\u00a0
\u00a0
U.S. Airmen across the Pacific are also practicing command and control at scale, making fast-paced decisions while coordinating across units, domains and international boundaries. This level of complexity offers a realistic test of how well U.S. and partner forces can operate together under contingency conditions.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cFrom weapons loaders to fuels specialists, pilots, planners, medical, security, airfield managers, civil engineers, maintainers and everything in between, every Airman here plays a role in building a force that can respond immediately and effectively in any environment,\u201d Davidson said.\u00a0
\u00a0
As REFORPAC continues, the 35th AEW will demonstrate PACAF\u2019s ability to lead, integrate and prevail alongside partners committed to a free and open Indo-Pacific.\u00a0<\/p>\n
