U.S. ‘Partner of Choice’ For Indo-Pacific Partners
Friday, July 12, 2019
The U.S. is a partner of choice when it comes to training and advising allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region, an Army special operations leader said.
“We’re the partner of choice because the U.S. has extensive combat experience,†said Col. Owen Ray, commander of the 1st Special Forces Group.
The 1st Special Forces Group, an Indo-Pacific regionally aligned and forward postured Army special operations forces unit, works with partner nations to provide training and guidance. The focus includes building resilience, strengthening their ability to defend their own sovereignty and defending them from coercion from external forces, Ray said.
