U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors assigned to the 3rd Wing launch and land at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson during Polar Force in Anchorage, Alaska. Polar Force is a local training exercise primarily focused on Agile Combat Employment and builds on other regularly scheduled exercises such as Northern Edge, Pacific Iron, and Red Flag to support the mission of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces. During this iteration, maintenance personnel and aircrew are operating at multiple locations, both on and off the installation, to further test the ACE concept and practice working in notionally contested areas.
