MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan -- The 35th Fighter Wing's mission of projecting combat air power and defending the U.S. and Japan moves forward.
“Despite the current COVID-19 crisis, our mission continues,” said Maj. David Dubel, the 14th Fighter Squadron director of operations. “This is a difficult yet opportune time for everyone to prove we can carry on with the mission regardless of the trials that stand before us. We have to proceed to do what we do here to ensure we are ready to answer our nation’s call.”
