Pacific Air Forces, alongside U.S. allies and partners, launched Resolute Force Pacific 2025, the largest contingency response exercise ever conducted by the U.S. Air Force in the Indo-Pacific region, July 10. 
 
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’s ability to generate, sustain and adapt airpower in a contested environment while working alongside regional allies. 
 
“This exercise is about sharpening our edge and proving that our Airmen can project combat airpower anytime, anywhere, alongside our allies,” said Col. Paul Davidson, 35th Fighter Wing commander. “This wing is all-in, showing what contingency readiness looks like in the Pacific Theater.” 
 
Standing up in support of REFORPAC, the 35th Air Expeditionary Wing is composed of Misawa Air Base 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’s 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.
