Gryphon Jet B-Roll
374th Airlift Wing
Video by Staff Sgt. Jessica Avallone
Dec. 28, 2020 | 4:58
The 353rd Special Operations Group organized exercise Gryphon Jet from June 17th through the 26th here at Yokota Air Base.

Over that 10-day period U.S. forces teamed up to execute the high altitude high opening, high altitude low opening, fast rope, and repel training needed to get its special tactics operators where they need to be quickly, efficiently, and most importantly, ready to respond at a moment’s notice.
