 The 90th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron is currently deployed to WASC air base in Poland for NATO enhancement security, the air policing mission. This looks like integrating with foreign countries all over Europe and validating our tactics, techniques and procedures that we train to at home in a deployed and forward based environment. Training over here in UCOM is way different than back home in Alaska for a lot of reasons. One, the airspace looks different, that new added difficulty, the language barrier and just being in a new location definitely enhances our training. A lot of it comes down to the coordination, getting all of these countries into one airspace at the same time, de-conflicting altitudes and making sure that we can get out there and train effectively but safely. It takes a lot of work and so we're building up these processes to be able to do that effectively and by doing that we're also building these partnerships with other flight leads and other pilots in different squadrons throughout Europe. Raptor is the best aircraft to support this air shielding mission because we have one mission and that's air supremacy and that's a big part of what we're doing here with the air policing and air shielding is making sure that nothing can make it past the NATO border. The F-22 brings these capabilities with a lot of its fifth generation stealth and super cruise maneuverability. Well at home we do training to come to a situation like this so I think it's easy to lose the focus of why we are doing it. Here they can see we are in a location that we're trying to protect and they can see a real mission and understand this is how it really works if we're moving at a faster pace and they get really really proficient at being able to do their job quickly, correctly every single time.
