Yokota receives forces for exercise
A C-130 Hercules, from the Alaskan Air National Guard 176th Wing, taxis on the runway at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Oct. 30, 2015. The C-130H and its crew traveled to Yokota to participate in Exercise VIGILANT ACE, a U.S. and Republic of Korea combined exercise aimed at enhancing operational and tactical level coordination through combined and joint combat training. As the Western Pacific mobility hub, Yokota is a key hub in the event of regional instability and this exercise provided the base a chance to test those capabilities in a realistic scenario.
