Pacific Air Forces celebrates 75 years of enduring presence in the Indo-Pacific region. Led by Lt. Gen. George Kenney, Far East Air Forces activated on August 3, 1944 and was headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. Over the years, FEAF moved its headquarters to Japan and finally to Hawaii with a re-designation of Pacific Air Forces. Today, as the Air Component to United States Indo-Pacific Command, PACAF stands ready to support a wide array of missions to strengthen alliances and partnerships and to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific.
We’ve come a long way. To every officer and every man in district Air Force, this flag today is a symbol we came a long way, but we whipped ’em, and we’re ready for more.
