HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii – If you’ve spent time in the Indo-Pacific region, you’ve heard the term “Fight Tonight” probably more than once and for good reason. Pacific Air Forces Airmen are at the forefront of operations in ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific, and in doing so, it comes with a need to be ready, diverse, innovative, and lethal. We have been charged with challenging the status quo, operationalizing resourcefulness, and adopting concepts and technologies that drive the readiness, resilience, and lethality of the force.

One of the most recent advances added to the PACAF portfolio involves the U.S. Air Force Next Generation Aircrew Protection (NGAP) effort.
