ARLINGTON, Virginia — With the Defense Department increasingly focusing on potential conflict in the Indo-Pacific, the Army is turning to its allies and partners to understand the role its motorized infantry will have across the theater.
The Army’s I Corps hosted representatives from 10 allied and partner nations for its first Indo-Pacific Motorized Forum. Held in January at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, the event aimed to give each of the nations an opportunity to discuss the challenges of operating infantry vehicles in the Indo-Pacific and how they could work together in the future, said Col. James Hayes, the Stryker warfighter forum director at I Corps.
“The design of it was to increase shared understanding across the broad motorized community — of capabilities, best practices, employment considerations and … some of those common challenges that we face and maybe some opportunities for future collaboration,” he said.
