Lesson learned after wrapping up back-to-back exercises – No task is too big to handle when you have the right teams, the right skills and the right attitude.

In the midst of Pacific Raptor, the 154th Wing hosted it’s first iteration of exercise Ho’oikaika, alongside our friends from the 15th Wing, the Nevada Air National Guard, as well as the notorious Aggressors from the 354th Fighter Wing, in Alaska.

Ho’oikaika means to strengthen and encourage in the Hawaiian language, and that’s exactly what our forces did over the course of three days as they deployed air operations and various support functions in three separate locations.

These agile capabilities give warfighters the tools they need to defend the skies above and fortify our interoperability throughout the Total Force.
