Gen. Jeffrey VanAntwerp, deputy chief of staff of operations, plans and training at U.S. Army Pacific, told reporters in a media briefing Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news comes almost a year after the Army\u2019s 1st Multi-Domain Task Force transported a Typhon launcher to Luzon, Philippines, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/training-sim\/2024\/06\/04\/us-philippines-expand-exercise-to-territorial-edges-amid-tension-with-china\/\" target=\"_blank\">part of that year\u2019s Salaknib exercise<\/a> \u2014 marking the first time the new capability, deemed vital to the U.S. Army\u2019s strategy in the Indo-Pacific, had been deployed. The missile system traveled more than 8,000 miles from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, aboard a C-17 Globemaster cargo aircraft on a 15-hour flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typhon has since remained in the country, angering China, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2024\/08\/18\/china-dramatically-alarmed-by-us-missile-deployment-philippines\/\" target=\"_blank\">has criticized the move<\/a> and warned it could destabilize the region. Officials have yet to fire the missile system in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unclear how long Typhon will remain in the Philippines or if it will go elsewhere in the Pacific theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to a question on where the system might be headed next, VanAntwerp said, \u201cWe\u2019re making plans, but I have to defer to [the Office of the Secretary of Defense].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/11\/06\/lockheed-martin-to-build-mid-range-missile-prototype-for-us-army\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lockheed Martin-built system<\/a>, consisting of a vertical launch system that uses the Navy\u2019s Raytheon-built Standard Missile-6 and Tomahawk missiles, can strike targets in the 500- to 2,000-kilometer range. The complete system has a battery operations center, four launchers, prime movers and modified trailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile system is capable of sinking ships, hitting land targets at long ranges and is \u201cmobile and survivable,\u201d VanAntwerp said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of this year\u2019s Salaknib and Balikatan military drills between the U.S. and the Philippines, the Philippine Navy plans to fire C-Star, Spike Non-Line-of-Sight and Mistral missiles. The country\u2019s military will not fire its Brahmos medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile, which has a higher price point per shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typhon\u2019s presence in the Philippines has prompted other countries in the Pacific region to inquire about the possibility of hosting the weapon system, a U.S. defense official recently told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army knew Typhon would have a strong deterrent effect, but didn\u2019t expect it to have an effect as great as has been observed over the past year, the official said, particularly in rattling China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest challenge now is transporting the capability around the Pacific \u2014 if the desire is to rotate it in and out of countries \u2014 due to the high costs of moving equipment, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Army\u2019s 3rd MDTF, headquartered in Hawaii, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2025\/03\/17\/us-army-readies-second-typhon-battery-for-pacific-deployment\/\" target=\"_blank\">slated to soon receive its Typhon battery<\/a>, which the service has certified at JBLM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re constantly looking for opportunities to exercise capability like that forward in theater,\u201d Col. Michael Rose, the 3rd MDTF commander, said recently. \u201cWe learn enormous lessons by bringing capability into the theater.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rose said the Army anticipates the Typhon supporting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2024\/05\/16\/four-ways-us-armys-pacific-chief-plans-to-boost-regional-land-forces\/\" target=\"_blank\">Operation Pathways<\/a>, a series of year-round exercises designed to strengthen cooperation with regional allies and deter China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Noah Robertson and Leilani
