The US Army is currently engaged in joint training exercises with Philippine forces, focusing on innovative technologies, weapons, and tactics unique to the Western Pacific. This training aims to enhance operational effectiveness in unfamiliar environments, particularly as threats like potential conflict with China loom. Conducted by Hawaii's 25th Infantry Division, around 2000 personnel are honing their skills in maneuvering aircraft in challenging weather conditions and varied terrains, including tropical climates. The exercise emphasizes the significance of advanced drones and strategies to keep soldiers concealed in electromagnetic spectrums.
Out in the islands of the western Pacific, the US Army and a strategic ally are landing aircraft in places they don't know, testing new drones and sensors, and trying to keep soldiers hidden in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The training is focused on adapting to the quickening pace of innovation on the battlefield, a general told Business Insider.
Maj. Gen. Marcus Evans, commander of the division, said temperatures are high and soldiers are grappling with the rain, wind, and humidity from monsoon season.
Each and every day, they are having to fly in varying terrain to different helicopter landing zones working around the different weather patterns.
