8th Fighter Wing
Video by Capt. Alvin Nelson, Senior Airman Maria Umanzor Guzman
March 23, 2025 | 4:27
U.S. Air Force Airmen with the 8th Fighter Wing, U.S. Marines with the Marine Wing Support Squadron 172, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, and Republic of Korea Army Soldiers with the 35th Division respond to an exercise inject during Freedom Shield 25 at Kunsan Air Base, ROK, Mar. 14, 2025. The inject evaluated joint and combined forces’ ability to rapidly respond to a base perimeter breach, neutralize opposing forces, and secure the scene. As one of the largest training events between the U.S. and the ROK, FS25 tests the Alliance with complex challenges and includes comprehensive after-action review to ensure constant improvement. This iterative annual event strengthens the security and stability on the Korean peninsula and across Northeast Asia. More
