7th Air Force, Air Force Operations Command hold Air Boss Conference
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea - Air Force Lt. Gen. Jan-Marc Jouas, 7th
Air Force and Combined Forces Command Air Component Commander, and Republic
of Korea Air Force Lt. Gen. Park, Jae Bok, Air Force Operations Command
Commander, offer opening remarks at the start of the annual 7th Air Force
Air Boss Conference on July 18, 2014. The conference brought together ROKAF
wing commanders and U.S. air wing commanders from every military branch
across the Pacific to receive briefings on the threat posed by north Korea
and how the Korea Airpower Team would conduct an air campaign in defense of
the Republic of Korea. Jouas' comments reflected the importance of
individual and unit readiness to respond to an attack on the ROK, saying
"What's crucial is that you walk away from today's briefings understanding
your part in the plan. We know north Korean capabilities have evolved, and
we must be ready to respond to them." (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
