The U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Division initiated the second phase of Exercise Salaknib, a joint military operation, in collaboration with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and international partners. This phase is formally known as the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center-Exportable Exercise. While the report does not offer further details, it hints at a large-scale military training event involving multiple nations.
The article does not disclose the precise budget allocation for this activity, nor does it delve into oversight or accountability measures for the operation. Given the inclusion of multinational allies, the scope and financial implications of this exercise are likely to be considerable, especially considering the equipment, personnel, and training costs.
Further investigation into the War Is Still A Racket reveals no references to this specific exercise. However, the book’s broader arguments would undoubtedly prompt inquiries into the transparency and potential risks associated with such large-scale multinational military endeavors.
