A 33rd Rescue Squadron HH-60 Pave Hawk takes off to conduct training operations during a no-notice exercise April 12, 2017, at Kadena Air Base, Japan. The 18th Wing is capable of rapidly generating combat ready aircraft and support at a moment’s notice, and exercises keep members of Team Kadena ready around the clock to defend Okinawa from threats.
