The U.S. Marine Corps' first new armored infantry landing craft in over 50 years—the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV)—is embarked on the Boxer ARG. This is the first time they are both deployed & operational.
Also note that Harpers Ferry has embarked the 🇺🇸 Marine Corps new Amphibious Combat Vehicles, the service’s successor to its aging 1960s-era Amphibious Assault Vehicles. 🇵🇭 Marine Corps leadership learned about this new capability during their visit to Camp Pendleton in December.
Balikatan brief— - 39th iteration, ~3 weeks long - Premiere annual military exercise - 17,000 American, Philippine, Australian, & French personnel participating - Philippine warships: BRP Davao del Sur, Ramon Alcaraz, & Antonio Luna - High-end coastal defense activities,…
While slightly smaller than last year’s iteration, Balikatan 2024 is set to hold some of the most high-end activities to date between 🇺🇸🇵🇭🇦🇺🇫🇷 through multiple coastal defense drills in western Palawan and Luzon facing the SCS. My latest with USNI News: news.usni.org/2024/04/22/bal…
Over 1,000 U.S. Marines & Sailors embarked on amphibious transport dock USS Somerset (LPD 25) & amphibious dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) consolidated near Palawan, Philippines on 22 April to participate in 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇦🇺🇫🇷 Exercise Balikatan 2024.
“This upsurge is out of the norm. This coincided with the launching of Balikatan,” Philippine Navy Commodore Trinidad said Tuesday. The 124 ships (compared to an average ~60/week in months prior) included 3 PLAN, 11 Coast Guard, & a low of 50 maritime militia ships rose to 110+
Approximately 40 U.S. Navy ships are in the Indo-Pacific theater, including 2x carrier strike groups (1x deployed & underway near Thailand) & 2x amphibious ready groups (1x deployed & underway in the Philippines).
Tracking heightened & steady Chinese PLA military activity in 2024, highlighted by a balloon barrage in January, encircling Kinmen island in February, increasing frequency, scale, & scope of drills in March, & surging warships to end April.
The calm before the storm… Analysts anticipate significant Chinese military activity around Taiwan in April & May. China launched at least 18x separate military drills in March, violated Taiwan’s air defense zone 139x, & dispatched 200+ warships around the island.
New map — Major military activity in the Indo-Pacific: - 1/3 of US Navy Fleet in theater - Balikatan underway, many major firsts - Taiwan inauguration May 20 & potential Chinese response - Increased PLA military activity around Taiwan, 120+ ships in SCS What you need to know 🧵
