Japan Air Self Defense Force Airmen assigned to the 401st Tactical Airlift Squadron along with two U.S. Air Force interpreters fly in a JASDF C-130H to conduct a simulated airdrop over Tinian, July 12, 2023, for Mobility Guardian 23. MG23 features seven participating countries - Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States - opening approximately 70 mobility aircraft across multiple locations spanning a 3,000 mile exercise area. Our Allies and partners are one of our greatest strengths and a key strategic advantage. MG23 is an opportunity to deepen our connections with regional Allies and partners using bold initiatives.
