Senior Airman Shoichiro Songco, 154th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, shares insights on maintaining the Hawaii Air National Guard’s F-22 Raptors during the annual sortie surge at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Dec. 16-19, 2024. The surge accelerated flight operations, highlighting the seamless collaboration between total-force Airmen from the Hawaii Air National Guard and active-duty Air Force. Drill status Guardsmen participated in the surge as part of their annual training, working alongside full-time Airmen to ensure the success of maintenance, logistics, and operational tasks. This effort underscore the critical role of the total-force dynamic in achieving mission readiness and operational excellence. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Tech. Sgt. John Linzmeier) More
