TUKWILA, Washington (March 6, 2024) Cmdr. James Tilden, Executive Officer of Patrol Squadron 62, presents a dedication plaque to Vice Adm. John B. Mustin, chief of Navy Reserve and commander of Navy Reserve Force, after taking delivery of the first new P-8A Poseidon for the Naval Air Force Reserve during a ceremony at Boeing Military Delivery Facility in Tukwila, Washington, March 6, 2024. This first delivery of the new P-8A Poseidon is a historic moment as it is the first purpose-built aircraft sent directly to the Navy Reserve's defense architecture in its aggressive transformation as an elite warfighting organization. Our patrol aircraft deploy and operate globally in support of national defense priorities executing myriad missions ranging from supporting homeland defense (HLD), participating in exercises sustaining fleet readiness, and work alongside partner and allied nations maintaining proficiency and increasing interoperability.
