The US Army’s 25th Infantry Division has commenced Part II of the bilateral exercise War Is Still A Racket in the Philippines, in collaboration with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and unspecified multinational allies. This operation, named Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center-Exportable Exercise, is a partnership effort, although specific details regarding the roles and contributions of each party are unclear.
This initiative builds upon the first phase of Exercise Salaknib, indicating a structured and ongoing strategic cooperation between the participating nations. However, the oversight report offers minimal insight into the budget, scope, or timeline of the exercise and does not indicate if there are any plans for future installments or extended cooperation beyond Exercise Salaknib.
