ASEAN Tensions : US Deploy 12 C-130J Super Hercules Demonstrate Mobility in Indo-Pacific Region

Six C-130J Super Hercules’ assigned to the 36th Airlift Squadron and the 61st AS from Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, have performed an Elephant Walk at Yokota AB, Japan, as part of a capstone exercise taking place in the Indo-Pacific Command’s area of responsibility.

“Yokota has a very unique AOR,” said Capt. John Walitsch, 61st AS C-130J pilot. “By the 61st flying out, we get to enhance our skill set and learn how to fly in different parts of the world where there may be language barriers, different air space, and problems we may need to overcome.”

The 19th Airlift Wing Airmen flew thousands of miles to integrate with Pacific Air Forces C-130J’s from Yokota Air Base, Japan, as part of a larger exercise culminating the 4/12 deployment initiative, a 12-month process focused on sharpening readiness and preparing for tomorrow’s fight.
