U.S., Japanese forces train together during a Patriot Advanced Capability-3 deployment training

MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan (Sept. 7, 2017) - Japan Air Self-Defense Force service members bring a fuel line to a Patriot interceptor missile during a Patriot Advanced Capability-3 deployment training at Misawa Air Base. A Patriot battery has six major components: a power plant, radar set, an engagement control station, launcher stations, the antenna mast group, and the interceptor missiles themselves. The bilateral training and coordination between U.S.-Japan forces increases interoperability, ensuring security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
