Combined F-16 and F-35 Training Reinforces Combat Readiness, Lethality and Interoperability
A Holloman Air Force Base F-16 Fighting Falcon prepares for takeoff as part of a joint training exercise, Jan. 27, 2026, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. By training as an integrated force, Airmen sharpen skills that translate directly to real-world operations, where teams must rapidly deploy, integrate and sustain combat power in contested environments. This integration also provides valuable lessons for command and control teams who synchronize airspace, logistics and operational timelines to support simultaneous operations from multiple units.
