Michael Ditore, 18th Wing command chief, ride in a 33rd Rescue Squadron HH-60 Pave Hawk to monitor an elephant walk during a no-notice exercise April 12, 2017, at Kadena Air Base, Japan. The exercise demonstrated Team Kadena's ability to generate full air combat power in a short amount of time. The 18th Wing operates a fleet of more than 80 combat-ready aircraft to perform air superiority, aerial refueling, airborne warning and control, and combat search and rescue to enhance peace and security throughout the Indo-Asia Pacific Theater.
