Charles Flynn\u2019s comments at a gathering of regional military leaders in Hawaii comes as China clashes with nearby nations over territorial disputes, and as North Korea continues to build its nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Army and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2023\/10\/09\/us-army-relies-on-pacific-allies-exercises-to-sustain-supply-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">its allies and partners in the theater <\/a>are finding more ways to come together and build relationships, Flynn said, some of which have endured since the end of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regional countries must come together and \u201cdo so with a sense of urgency often only reserved for the most demanding situations,\u201d Flynn said during his speech at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s LANPAC conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe situation now demands it, but we need not go it alone,\u201d he added. \u201cIn this region, campaigning for land power provides something that no other foreign military power can. It is something that only land forces deliver. It\u2019s called positional advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategic land power network, which is still taking shape, \u201cmust get in position to defend our sovereignty, to protect our people and to uphold their rights under international law,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are four steps to accomplishing this, Flynn noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFirst,\u201d he said, \u201creorganize the most battle-winning mix of capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2024\/05\/13\/us-army-experiments-with-long-endurance-drones-balloons-in-philippines\/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Army\u2019s regionally focused multidomain task forces<\/a>, Australia\u2019s 10th Brigade, and the cross-domain formations Japan is creating serve as examples of how to reorganize forces to strengthen formations with high-end capabilities, Flynn told Defense News in an interview. In addition, countries in the theater should share their concepts among each other to ensure interoperability, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Army has also deployed a security force assistance brigade, a theater fires element and an information warfare directorate into areas near China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flynn\u2019s second building block is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2024\/05\/10\/us-army-sends-himars-rocket-launcher-island-hopping-in-the-philippines\/\" target=\"_blank\">regenerate combined joint warfighting<\/a> capabilities. In other words, \u201ctraining together, rehearsing together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Central to that is bringing the U.S. Army\u2019s Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center from Hawaii to other countries in the theater as an exportable version, dubbed JPMRC-X. Australia and Indonesia hosted such versions last year; the same is expected to happen in the Philippines this month, where the JPMRC-X will help inform how the country plans to create its own high-level training events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s \u201can increasing thirst from the region on that, in large measure because they go to our schools and then they have also been to our training centers. Only now, JPMRC is closer and it looks like the environment in the region,\u201d Flynn said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That type of effort also applies to Flynn\u2019s third building block, which is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/05\/12\/us-troops-put-new-philippine-military-sites-to-test-in-balikatan-drill\/\" target=\"_blank\">reapply land power<\/a> to create unity of effort, and the fourth block, which is to build enduring advantages through regional posture, \u201callowing our Army forces to control decisive points.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Army also achieves this through extensive exercises, dubbed Operation Pathways, that continuously run throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flynn noted in his speech that the opportunity to increase multilateral cooperation is the highest he has ever seen. Each drill under Operation Pathways is growing as more move from bilateral to multilateral events, in some cases involving more than a dozen countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEach of your armies has a duty to your nations, but also each of us has something to offer the group represented here today,\u201d Flynn said in his speech. \u201cThe demonstration of unity and collective commitment is growing stronger by the day, and I\u2019m very proud of the progress we\u2019re making together because our tactical actions are having operational and strategic effects.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More countries are joining multilateral exercises and training events to strengthen a network to deter
