The U.S. Air Force partners up with its allies, Royal Australian Air Force and the Japan Air Self-Defense Force to conduct an incredible Elephant Walk, as part of its multilateral military exercise during Cope North 2022 at the Andersen Air Force Base, the Pacific Air ForcesThe elephant walk will take during the period from 2 to 18 February at Guam and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands and be the largest multilateral exercise of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces.
Established as a quarterly bilateral exercise in 1978, Cope North was conducted at the Misawa Air Base in Japan until 1999, after which it moved base to Andersen AFB, the press release said. It is the largest multilateral exercise conducted by the U.S. Pacific Air Forces and during its recent iteration conducted an Elephant Walk along with its ally, the Royal Australian Air Force.
On its face value, an elephant walk is simply a brute display of the firepower of an allied force. It showcases the sheer number of advanced fighter jets participating in a military exercise that serves as a warning to adversaries. The participation of large military transport and cargo planes is also an opportunity for the two wings of the military to demonstrate and practice teamwork.
As Matsimus states in the video above, prior to the walk on the tarmac, these exercises start off from a zero point, where aircraft are not in a take-off ready configuration and the entire exercise is aimed at getting them armed and fueled in time for the walk. The practice of getting your aircraft armed and ready in a limited time frame not only prepares you for wartime crises but can also help in safeguarding these multi-million dollar assets from natural forces like a hurricane.

Air Force approves 9 religious exemptions for COVID vaccineThe Air Force became the second military service to approve religious exemptions to the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine, granting requests from nine airmen to avoid the shots, officials said Tuesday. The nine approved so far represent just a tiny fraction of the more than 6,400 requested by Air Force troops, and they come as other service members are challenging the lack of religious exemptions in court cases. The Marine Corps is the only other military service to grant any religious accommodations, allowing three so far.
