US Army Learns to Fight Pacific Island Warfare Again
Story by Ryan Chan • 3h
The United States and its Indo-Pacific allies and partners were conducting the largest army exercise in the region as the American ground forces prepared for fighting island warfare.
The exercise, which began on Monday, was executed by the U.S. Army 25th Infantry Division and the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) in the Pacific Ocean. It spanned from Alaska in the north to Hawaii in the center and Palau in the west.
The mission of the Hawaii-based 25th Infantry Division is to forward-posture ready forces in the Indo-Pacific region to deter adversaries. JPMRC provides realistic training that simulates the region's challenging terrains, including jungle and archipelagic environments.
Foreign participating units came from Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Maldives, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and the United Kingdom. During the JPMRC 25-01 exercise, military forces will conduct multi-domain training to prepare for future operations.
