Air forces from around the world are

00:21.605 --> 00:24.020
arriving in Guam to participate in Cope

00:24.020 --> 00:26.819
North 2025 . Cope North is a

00:26.819 --> 00:29.020
multinational field training exercise

00:29.020 --> 00:31.219
sponsored by Pacific Air Forces that

00:31.219 --> 00:33.386
focuses on conducting combat Air Force

00:33.386 --> 00:35.552
and large force employment training to

00:35.552 --> 00:37.552
enhance trilateral fifth generation

00:37.552 --> 00:39.919
interoperability . This is Pacific Air

00:39.919 --> 00:42.270
Force's largest annual multilateral

00:42.270 --> 00:44.450
exercise and aims to further integrate

00:44.450 --> 00:46.283
ally and partner nations towards

00:46.283 --> 00:48.400
enhancing security and stability to

00:48.400 --> 00:50.970
maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific .

00:53.189 --> 00:55.450
US Air Forces Central is conducting

00:55.450 --> 00:58.689
Operation Agile Spartan 2025 across the

00:58.689 --> 01:00.709
Arabian Peninsula testing the Air

01:00.709 --> 01:02.820
Force's ability to deploy and sustain

01:02.820 --> 01:05.180
combat power from dispersed locations .

01:05.449 --> 01:07.680
This multi-week exercise involves all

01:07.680 --> 01:09.610
five of Absinthe's deployed air

01:09.610 --> 01:11.849
expeditionary wings , bringing together

01:11.849 --> 01:13.738
active duty , guard , and reserve

01:13.738 --> 01:16.040
airmen to enhance coalition operations

01:16.040 --> 01:18.540
and regional partnerships . Large scale

01:18.540 --> 01:20.709
agile combat employment exercises like

01:20.709 --> 01:22.989
Agile Spartan reinforced the US's

01:22.989 --> 01:24.767
enduring commitment to regional

01:24.767 --> 01:27.830
partners in the Middle East . The

01:27.830 --> 01:29.997
United Operational Test team conducted

01:29.997 --> 01:32.269
the first ever dual external release of

01:32.269 --> 01:35.290
a GBU 54 laser joint direct attack

01:35.290 --> 01:38.589
munition or LJ Dam from an F-35

01:38.589 --> 01:41.089
Lightning II . This is the first sensor

01:41.089 --> 01:42.922
suite to combine forward looking

01:42.922 --> 01:44.930
infrared , a combat laser , and

01:44.930 --> 01:47.160
infrared search and track , providing

01:47.160 --> 01:49.290
improved situational awareness . The

01:49.290 --> 01:52.129
GBU 54 is a precision guided bomb that

01:52.129 --> 01:54.349
uses laser energy to accurately strike

01:54.349 --> 01:56.680
static and moving surface targets ,

01:56.889 --> 01:58.945
making it a valuable addition to the

01:58.945 --> 02:01.800
F-35's air to surface munitions catalog .

02:02.449 --> 02:04.671
