A two-day training at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, involved JBER maintainers and weapons loaders learning the F-35 and a maintenance squad from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, better understanding the F-22. The Airmen agreed that fifth-generation interoperability enables them to minimize manning in forward operations and eases the maintenance impacts while also extending Pacific Air Forces’ lethality and reach.
