This is the color, embroidered version of the exercise patch created by the 303rd Fighter Squadron that flies out of Whiteman AFB, MO. More than 800 military personnel converged on Salina, KS and the surrounding area for several weeks to participate in the joint-service exercise, Jaded Thunder. The exercise included joint corps integration by members of Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and Army units, as well as representatives of the U.S. Special Operations Command. The training provided during Jaded Thunder is essential for national defense. This patch was created by the squadron to commemorate their participation and does not have velcro attached.
