VP-26 loads Harpoon onto P-8A Poseidon in Guam during Valiant Shield

U.S. Navy Sailors, assigned to Patrol and Reconnaissance Squadron (VP) 26, prepare to load an AGM-84D Harpoon onto a P-8A Poseidon aircraft supporting Valiant Shield on Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, June 26, 2026. Exercises like Valiant Shield allow Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the joint force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
