EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- Staff Sgt. Kenichira Watanabe, missile operator, Japanese Air Self Defense Force, aims a Type 91 Sam-2 Surface to Air missile launcher at enemy aircraft on the Pacific Alaskan Range Complex on July 24 during Red Flag-Alaska 07-3. With 67,000 square miles of rugged terrain, Japanese Forces are able to train tracking low flying aircrafts against a mountain back drop; this type of training is unavailable to them at their home station.
