U.S. and Israeli color guard members present their national and service flags during a Juniper Cobra 18 (JC18) closing ceremony at Hatzor Air Force Base, Israel, Mar. 15, 2018. As part of JC18, Airmen with 9th Air Force from Shaw AFB, S.C., observed the joint task force (JTF) portion of the exercise to gain first-hand experience of standing up and maintaining a JTF. Observing a JTF is one of the many criteria 9th AF Airmen must complete to build toward becoming a JTF-capable headquarters for the Air Force. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Briauna Zeigler)
