The Israeli Air Force hosted its American counterparts for the annual Air Senior National Representatives (ASNR) forum on August 17-22, marking the forum’s tenth year, the IDF says.
The event, led by IAF chief of staff Brig. Gen. Omer Tischler in coordination with US Secretary of the Air Force and International Affairs (SAF/IA) assistant deputy Maj. Gen. Ricky Mills, included a visit by Lt. Gen. Derek C. France, commander of US Air Forces Central.
During the conference, both sides held professional discussions on operational cooperation, training, and force development, reviewing lessons from Operation Rising Lion and outlining a joint work plan for 2026.
The ASNR forum serves as a key platform for strengthening the strategic alliance between the Israeli and US air forces, the military says.
