Happy 79th Birthday, U.S. Air Force! 🎉✈️

Since 1947, Airmen have answered the call to fly, fight and win, advancing airpower, strengthening partnerships and defending our nation across the globe.

Today, we celebrate the generations of Airmen who built our legacy and those continuing to shape the future of air and space power.

Aim High, Airmen, and Happy Birthday!

Pacific Air Forces continually advances its operational concepts to meet security challenges head-on.

Speaking at the Air, Space & Cyber Conference 2026, Gen. Kevin Schneider highlighted three key areas PACAF is focused on to strengthen our posture throughout the theater:

1️⃣ Command and Control: Improving the resiliency of our C2 nodes and our data pathways.

2️⃣ Agile Combat Employment: Increasing active defenses and capabilities in the field.

3️⃣ Resiliency: Driving exercises and training to be as realistic and challenging as possible.

Through complex, multilateral training with allies and partners, PACAF continues to sharpen the competitive edge of the Joint Force.

🇺🇸 🤝 🇫🇷 Team Eielson hosted the French Air and Space Force as part of PEGASE 26, a long-range air deployment designed to strengthen partnerships and operational readiness.

The visit demonstrated our ability to operate in complex environments while strengthening interoperability with allies and partners, projecting airpower across the Arctic and toward the Pacific.

PEGASE 26 highlights the strength of the U.S.-France partnership and our shared commitment to maintaining a secure and stable Arctic and a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Integrated airpower in action.

During Pégase 26, U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors trained alongside French Air and Space Force Rafale fighters and an A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport, demonstrating the ability of allied forces to integrate rapidly during combined operations.

The MRTT’s capability to transition between boom and drogue refueling adds flexibility across aircraft types, while bilateral training in Alaska’s demanding environment allows U.S. and French Airmen to exchange tactics, techniques and procedures and strengthen coalition readiness.

Training together enhances interoperability, reinforces the long-standing U.S.-France alliance, and prepares our forces to respond seamlessly across a range of global contingencies.

Strong alliances. Ready forces. Integrated airpower.

🎤 🚀Air, Space & Cyber Conference 2026

Brig. Gen. Brian Denaro, U.S. Space Forces Pacific commander, highlighted how Space Force Guardians develop, employ and advance military spacepower for the Nation.

Key takeaway: We don't just equip our forces—we train them to win in contested environments. Space security in the Pacific region demands a strong forward presence, resilient infrastructure, and ensuring our Guardians are constantly practicing the critical skills needed to stand as elite warfighters alongside the joint force.

Building bridges through the universal language of music!

During Exercise Atlas Angel II, members of the U.S. Air Force Band of the Pacific-Asia took partnership to a whole new tempo alongside the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Entertainment Wing and Band.

Across a multi-day Subject Matter Expert Exchange, our Airmen immersed themselves in traditional Sri Lankan drumming and cultural dance techniques, shared modern musical craft, and took the podium together for an unforgettable joint concert. From swap sessions on the drum kit to sitting side-by-side playing traditional Sri Lankan percussion, the exchange celebrated rich cultural heritage while deepening bilateral ties.

The team also paid a special visit to the Overseas School of Colombo, treating students to an energetic live set followed by an inspiring Q&A about military service, careers in music, and the power of global partnership.
