Keen Sword Rescue Squadrons Take Flight

A Japan Air Self-Defense Force HH-60J rescue helicopter from the Japan Air Self-Defense Force Komatsu Air Rescue Squadron hovers near a U.S. Air Force 33rd Rescue Squadron HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter during an engine run at Komatsu Air Base, Japan, Nov. 12, 2014. Engine runs ensure the aircraft is ready to fly at a moment's notice if rescue crews had to respond to an incident. This was done during exercise Keen Sword 2015, a joint-bilateral training exercise designed to increase the interoperability required to respond to a potential crisis. The 33rd RQS is assigned to Kadena Air Base, Japan. (U.S. Air Force photo by 2nd Lt. Erik Anthony/Released)
