Answered by Al Carns
The Department conducts military exercises to maintain operational effectiveness, raise warfighting readiness and ensure the armed forces are prepared to respond to a wide range of scenarios. These exercises often involve collaboration with our allies and partners, enhancing interoperability and collective readiness.
Our exercise plans are kept under regular review to ensure they align with our priorities and both our own and our partners' operational requirements.
