U.S. Army Pacific > Our Approach

Campaigning applies readiness built in training to build Joint Force interior lines.

We increase Joint Readiness through increased training west of the International Date Line while increasing our Ally & Partner capacity to defend and contribute to regional security. USARPAC's campaigning denies key terrain - human and geographic - to any adversary.

JPMRC 22-02 is the first Regional Combat Training Center (CTC) rotation in Alaska. It focuses on Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) and is a Cold Weather training event that includes a Situational Training Exercise (STX) and a Live Fire Exercise (LFX) in 2QFY22. This exercise will validate the 1/25th Stryker Brigade Combat Team’s Cold Weather training readiness and capabilities.

OPERATION PATHWAYS
We solve operational and strategic problems linking tactical action - exercises, experiments, and theater security activity - to generate military effects. Operation PATHWAYS creates interior lines through tailored forces and equipment, exercises strategic systems for force projection and increases experimentation, accelerating capability integration in real-world conditions. USARPAC strengthens defense partnerships through Operation PATHWAYS by training with Allies & Partners to increase capability, capacity and human, technical, and procedural interoperability.

After completion of Balikatan 2022, all military vehicles from the Army Prepositioned Stock 3, military vehicles assigned to the 402nd Army Field Support Brigade are successfully uploaded to the U.S. Navy Ship Red Cloud at Subic Bay, Philippines April 11, 2022. APS allows organizations, such as the 8th TSC to plan, integrate, and synchronize the storing of equipment around the globe to enable interoperability and strategic operations. By storing equipment to enable joint interoperability, the Army’s APS reduces deployment timelines, improve sustainment capacity and capabilities, while also increasing combat power to support contingency operations worldwide. As the U.S. Indo-Pacific materiel integrator, the 8th TSC synchronizes capabilities and resources across the theater, enabling both our land forces and those of our allies and partners. Our mission is to plan, integrate, and synchronize theater distribution and sustainment operations with our joint logistics enterprise partners, stabilizing and securing the Indo-Asia Pacific Region.

Units from Army Sustainment Command executed a vessel download of APS Afloat in order to employ and maintain the APS equipment set forward in the Indo-Pacific Theater.

The last piece of equipment from Army Prepositioned Stock Afloas is driven off the U.S. Naval Ship Red Cloud. The downloaded equipment will be issued to Soldiers in participating in Salaknib 22. The employment of Army Prepositioned Stocks afloat builds the Army’s strategic readiness capabilities and demonstrates its ability to rapidly project power in the Indo-Pacific Theater during competition as well as during crisis and conflict.

PICKETLINE PACIFIC & PACIFIC PROCESSING, EXPLOITATION & DISSEMINATION CENTER
Our Picketline Pacific and the innovative Pacific Processing, Exploitation & Dissemination (PED) Center enable us to See, Sense, and Understand through forward positioned terrestrial layer sensors. USARPAC's information environment campaigning provides a persistent picture of actions, patterns, and movement that complements air and space collection paired with near-real time processing, exploitation, and dissemination of intelligence for the Joint Force.

ACTIVITY SETS & PREPOSITIONED STOCKS
Our placement of activity sets and prepositioned stocks west of the International Date Line creates an enduring presence which signals U.S. commitment to the region while enabling rapid crisis response through forward positioned medical and logistic supplies.
