Rim of the Pacific 2024 – RIMPAC for short – brought together nearly 30 partner nations with a common goal: to build relationships, improve interoperability and ultimately contribute to peace and stability in the vital Indo-Pacific region.
“There is no doubt that we have achieved the main objectives of the exercise,” said Navy Vice Admiral John Wade, commander of the combined forces, at the end of the exercise.
