This year, the exercise was joined by 19 countries.

As part of the exercise, the unit, in cooperation with U.S. and Australian forces, demonstrated a series of actions related to maritime and amphibious operations to improve tactical capabilities and joint operation capabilities as well as to strengthen cooperation and interoperability with the participating countries such as the U.S. and Australia.

The Self Defense Fleet maintains readiness and contributes to the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific region, not only for the defense of Japan but also for the realization of a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” in cooperation with allied and like-minded navies.
