More than 400 personnel representing nations scheduled to participate in RIMPAC 2024 attended the IPC to begin preparations for the 29th iteration of the world’s largest maritime exercise in summer 2024.
“Partnerships drive RIMPAC,” said U.S. 3rd Fleet Commander Vice Adm. Michael Boyle. “This week, we began building the framework for a successful RIMPAC 2024 based on the national training objectives of our partner nations.”
The event afforded attendees the opportunity to share information and initiate planning for RIMPAC 2024, including training objectives and environmental concerns.
“RIMPAC provides exciting opportunities to work with many partner nations, and provides the ability to exercise leadership skills within a multi-national framework,” said Capt. Ryan Carstens, RIMPAC exercise director. “Holding these initial talks is the first step in ensuring that next year’s exercise will be executed safely and efficiently, while maximizing the training opportunities for everyone involved.”
