Aircrew members assigned to the 6th Airlift Squadron run to a C-17 Globemaster III while conducting Flush checklist procedures on Yokota Air Base, Japan, in support of Valiant Shield 2024, June 14, 2024. The Flush checklist is designed for an aircrew to get an aircraft’s engines running in minimal amount of time and ready for departure predicated on an imminent threat. Exercises such as Valiant Shield allow the Indo-Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Joint Force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
