Eagles keep watch over Kadena

A KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 909th Air Refueling Squadron takes off from a flight line at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Nov. 4, 2022. For decades, Kadena Air Base has served as the keystone of the Pacific. The base's strategic position makes it a vital staging location for forces to deter regional adversaries and project U.S. airpower throughout the Indo-Pacific.
