Originally Published 2 years ago — by Defense One
The US Army Pacific is conducting a large-scale training exercise involving over 5,000 troops from various countries, simulating a conflict with a peer adversary in the Pacific region, widely believed to be China. The exercise, known as JPMRC 24-01, focuses on inter-island conflict and aims to prepare soldiers for the complex terrain and operational challenges of the Indo-Pacific region. The training exercise, held in Hawaii, allows for joint tactical training and builds confidence and interoperability among partner nations. The US Army Pacific plays a crucial role in countering China's anti-access and area denial capabilities and emphasizes the need for joint and multinational solutions in the region.
