Justin Ledvina, 25th FS director of operations, pack bags before a flight during the Ninja Mustang training event at Misawa Air Base, Japan, March 7, 2024. The 25th FS organized the training event to develop more lethal Airmen within the 51st Fighter Wing, who can perform their job and execute the mission in an unfamiliar location with limited resources. Ninja Mustang is a training event within the Ninja Draggin series, where 51st FW Airmen relocate to collaborate with units across the Pacific. This initiative enhances the lethality and coordination of units within the pacific theater. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Chase Verzaal)
