NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
The Army recently dispatched a new long-range missile system to the Philippines for the first time since the U.S. in 2019 exited the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which banned such deployments.
Gen. Charles Flynn, commander of U.S. Army Pacific forces, said the deployment of the new missile system is “historic” and highlights continuous Army transformation to deal with a complex and challenging environment.
“The planning, transportation and deployment of the newest U.S. Army long-range precision fires system supports a safe, stable and secure Indo-Pacific in partnership with our allies from the Armed Forces Philippines,” Gen. Flynn told Inside the Ring.
