Engagement with key treaty Allies and partner nations
Proactive, focus on improving stability and security
In addition to our USPACOM Joint Exercise Program we are also involved in:

In the next several slides I will highlight the Who, What, When, Where and Why of our JEP. This slide is intended to display for you the geographic reach of our exercise program.
This slide just depicts PACOM JEP exercises and does not include the 200+ component exercises conducted annually throughout the PACOM AOR.
One point I would like to make is that while we designate exercises as a “readiness” exercise if it exercises a OPLAN, and “engagement” exercise if it does not. In reality all of our exercises have aspects of readiness and engagement intertwined into the exercise objectives.
The American Flags indicate the 3 US-Only exercise which PACOM conducts annually. All other exercises are conducted with a partner or ally
MPAT and GPOI events will be briefed during the J73 portion of this briefing

USAPACOM has also initiated movement towards tri-lateral (US-JPN-ROK) cooperation within exercises as a way to mitigate and eliminate the seems and gaps.
KEEN SWORD has undergone a transformation in the last year as a USPACOM-JJS workgroup has undertaken the task to increase the joint training value of the biennial FTX with the Japanese Self Defense Forces. KEEN SWORD will focus on CONPLAN-based mission areas identified during KEEN EDGE as needing work. The next iteration of KEEN SWORD is scheduled for November 2010.

The highlighted changes are the major changes from the JEP Initiative
1) TF: Reduce from an annual full-scale exercise to a “heavy-light” which reduces requirements for simulation, and augmentees. Progress is being made on reducing the annual heavy nature of TF.
2) BK: We have prioritized making BK multinational over reducing the scale of the exercise. As long as we are making progess on the multinational front, BK will continue as it has historically.
3) Korea: In order to make significant changes in the PACOM JEP, we have to reduce USFK to a single JEP supported exercise annually. This does not have the support of USFK who is now indicating that despite C2 transition will be complete in 2012, the political situation will require no reduction in US Exercise presence through 2014.
4) Initially attempted to cut KS from the program in favor of an annual CPX with JPN, but this met significant pushback from the JPN military so the solution was a more joint KS FTX.
5) In both JPN and Korea we are advocating for Trilateral exercises among the US-JPN-KOR. As a starting point we are increasing USFK and USFJ participation in KEEN EDGE and UFG respecivley.
