The exercise, hosted by the United States Air Force (USAF), was held at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, United States, from 28 May to 12 June 2026. The RSAF deployed 10 F-16 and eight F-15SG fighter aircraft with over 250 personnel from its Peace Carvin II and Peace Carvin V detachments. The RSAF assets and personnel trained alongside more than 60 foreign aircraft and over 2,100 personnel from the USAF and participating forces from countries including Belgium, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
During the exercise, the participants engaged in a series of air combat and strike training missions in a simulated combat environment. The RSAF\u2019s airmen and women were able to hone their operational competencies and sharpen combat readiness through a series of realistic and challenging air-to-air and air-to-ground training missions.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the significance of the RSAF\u2019s participation in Exercise Red Flag \u2013 Alaska, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Jianwei, the RSAF\u2019s Peace Carvin II Detachment Commander, said, \u201cExercise Red Flag \u2013 Alaska features a diverse range of demanding and complex mission scenarios. The exercise enabled the RSAF to operate and train alongside the participating air forces, hone our operational competencies and enhance our readiness to defend Singapore. The awards received by our personnel are a testament to the professionalism and dedication of our airmen and women, as well as the high training standards that the RSAF upholds. The RSAF values the opportunity to participate in this exercise and looks forward to participating in future series of the Red Flag exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The USAF\u2019s Deployed Forces Commander for the exercise, Colonel Christopher Austin added, \u201cThe RSAF truly stands out in their capabilities and their professionalism to execute tactical air operations.
