A U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing and an F-15E Strike Eagle, assigned to the 85th Test and Evaluation Squadron participate in a live-fire sinking exercise (SINKEX) as part of Valiant Shield 2026 over the Philippine Sea, June 27, 2026. Exercises like Valiant Shield allow 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.
