U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Ricky Rupp, U.S. Forces Japan and Fifth Air Force commander, talks with the crew of a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 909th Air Refueling Squadron prior to takeoff at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Nov. 15, 2022. Rupp visited Kadena to observe and participate in exercise Keen Sword 23 events. Keen Sword is a concrete example of the strength of the U.S.-Japan Alliance, which has been the foundation of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region for almost 75 years. The relationships built and maintained during these training events are critical to our collective capability to respond to crises or contingencies.
