OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea --  Approximately a dozen F-16s and about 300 personnel from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, are set to deploy to the Republic of Korea in mid-January, demonstrating continuing U.S. commitment to stability and security in the Asia-Pacific Region.

Air Combat Command continues to routinely deploy aircraft to the Asia-Pacific Region, providing Pacific Air Forces and the U.S. Pacific Command commanders a Theater Security Package in the region, deepening ties with our allies and our relationship with the international community.

Movement of the U.S. Air Force fighters into the Pacific has been ongoing since March 2004, in order to maintain a prudent deterrent against threats to regional security and stability.
