The 317th Airlift Wing does not belong to the Pacific Air Forces. It is not forward-based or assigned to the Fifth Air Force. Yet for 17 days in the summer of 2026, the 317 served as the sole tactical airlift unit for one of the largest US war games in the Pacific. Held by the US Pacific Command, Valiant Shield 2026 ran for three weeks from June 18 to July 4, with exercises ranging from Guam to Japan and the Northern Mariana Islands.
