Headquarters Pacific Air Forces (HQ PACAF) participates in and is responsible for over 40 Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) and component exercises and events conducted with allied countries throughout the Indo-Pacific region each year. These exercises, Building Partnership Capacity (BPC) engagements, and aerial events/tradeshows provide essential insight into managing our technology investments, improving and maintaining the combat capability of U.S. forces, and furthering US Indo-Pacific Command's (USINDOPACOM) Theater Security Cooperation (TSC) strategy within the region.

These factors will be key to shaping and scoping PACAF participation in the full JELC of exercises/engagements.

They will coordinate and communicate with participating units, Wings and MAJCOM staff and leadership to highlight the current and expected issues and socialize Courses of Action (COAs) to mitigate JELC deviations, and ensure issues are resolved.
