Raptors de-ice for Polar Force 22-4

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Lyndeana Parsons, a 3rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron F-22 craftsman, de-ices a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor assigned to the 3rd Wing during Polar Force 22-4 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, April 5, 2022. This is the first Polar Force to be led by the 3rd Wing, with the primary focus on developing Agile Combat Employment and the U.S. Pacific Air Forces’ ability to fight in a contested, anti-access area denial environment. Operationalizing readiness-enhancing concepts like ACE is critical to ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Emily Farnsworth)
