In all, 26 countries are participating in these maneuvers, including Tonga, a small island state in the Pacific Ocean, whose unprecedented participation is not uncommon. It takes place in an environment Emerging Sino-American rivalries And Beijing inevitably advances its troops South Pacific Islands.
Launched in 1971 under the command of the US Pacific Fleet, the naval exercise will mobilize 25,000 troops, 38 ships, four submarines and more than 170 aircraft. South Korea will also participate in the exercise and send warships, submarines, maritime patrol aircraft and about 1,000 sailors this year, a record since 1990.
