Airmen from the Sri Lanka Air Force, or SLAF, engaged with
Pacific Air Forces Airmen during the first virtual and fourth annual Airmen-to-Airmen Talk, known as A2AT hosted from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Dec. 15.
Due to
COVID-19 restrictions, this year’s A2AT did not take place in the routine face-to-face format. The meeting included subject matter experts from each country in logistics, flight safety, risk management, crisis response, cyber security and medical procedures in response to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies.
A2ATs enable PACAF to expand Indo-Pacific alliances and partnerships through joint discussions with partner nations. This effort is designed to help the Department of Defense work toward a free and open Indo-Pacific region. The joint discussions help PACAF build a networked security architecture capable of deterring aggression, maintaining stability and ensuring free access to common domains.
