The JFEO exercise involved more than 400 Army paratroopers, and other military members from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, and more than a dozen aircraft assigned to squadrons throughout the United States including CH-47s, and Air Force HC-130 Hercules , MC-130J Commando IIs, and C-17 Globemaster IIIs. Realistic warfighting training, like JFEO, conducted during NE21, provided a venue for the joint force to develop and improve interoperability, and enhance combat readiness. Approximately 15,000 service members are participating in NE21 hosted by Pacific Air Forces May 3-14, 2021, on and above the JPARC, the Gulf of Alaska, and temporary maritime activities area.( Air Force Photo by Senior Airman Duncan C.
