Highlight the use of the use of new combat concepts
The Pacific Joint Military exercise began in 1971. It has a strong cold war. At that time, it was mainly aimed at the Soviet Union's activities in the Pacific waters, strengthening the ability of the United States and its military allies to coordinate operations at sea.After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Pacific Military Show did not revoke it. Instead, he changed the goal from the original blockade of the Soviet Navy to the regional dispute and ensuring the safety and joint anti -terrorism of the maritime channels of the Pacific coast.In recent years, with the change of the US strategic positioning of China and Russia, the goal of the Pacific Military Show has gradually shifted to curb Sino -Russian and show the ability of the United States itself.The competition for air -to -air power and sea rights and the ability to improve from sea to land.
Judging from the information disclosed by the US Navy, this military exercise subject includes a series of combat tasks including disaster relief, maritime security operations, and maritime control, covering amphibious combat, weapon shooting, anti -submarine and air defense exercises, anti -pirate operations, thunderstorm operations, Explosive treatment, diving and salvage exercises, including almost all the tactical areas of maritime operations.Among them, an important highlight of this exercise is a newly formed formed by the US Marine Corps to integrate air defense, anti -ships, maritime surveillance, and logistical coastal combat teams to perform for the first time to conduct exercises for the expedition front -edge base combat tactics.This tactic is a new maritime tactic developed by the U.S. military in recent years. It is a modern version of island jumping. The specific method is that the U.S. military will choose to deploy the Navy's Marine Corps and engineering soldiers on the key islands according to the powerful air power.After that, it will be quickly repaired or established a simple version of runway for American fighter aircraft to take off and land and stop, and then use the deployment of the Haimas multi -tube rocket launcher to quickly complete the control of the entire island and its surrounding waters with its range of hundreds of kilometers to achieve the realization of the entire island and its surrounding waters, realize itCopy response to the threat of surpassing rhythm in the Asia -Pacific region.
In addition, the exercise of the U.S. Navy will also use the use of unmanned ships to improve the lethality of the surface fleet and further enhance the collaborative combat capabilities of someone and the unmanned fleet.Prior to this, the U.S. Navy unmanned ship was a very hidden new project, and all the tests were performed within the U.S. military.In this exercise, the US Navy has four large unmanned surface ships for the first time, including the sea eagle medium -sized ships of the maritime hunter project and two ships of the ghost fleet project.It has matured, on the other hand, I hope to collect more information about unmanned ships through this military exercise, and further enrich the relevant algorithm of autonomous driving and collaborative use of unmanned ships. In order to cooperate with the conventional ships in the next stepProvide experience.These practices will make this military exercise an important platform for the new combat concept of the US Navy in the future.

Expand the joint combat capabilities with allies
Judging from the lineup of this exercise, whether it is the number of participating countries, the scale of the ship, the scale of the ship, or the power configuration, etc., it has set a new historical record.Participating countries not only cover the US -Japan -India -Australian four -nation -Australian cooperation mechanism (QUAD), the United States, Britain, and Australia, and the United States, AUKUS, and other core security cooperation mechanisms established in the Asia -Pacific region, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries.It has even expanded to the National Southern Pacific, and its purpose is to further deepen the defense cooperation and interoperability between the United States and the allies and partners.Before the Pacific-20122 exercise was held, US President Bayeng held a US-ASEAN Special Summit in Washington from May 12th to 13th, and then visited South Korea and Japan from May 20th to 24th.In Japan, he attended a meeting of the leaders of the cooperation mechanism of the Four Kingdoms and made many security commitments to the Asia -Pacific region.The military exercise undoubtedly fulfilled the security commitment to regional countries with practical actions to rebuild the trust of the United States in the Asia -Pacific countries in the Asia -Pacific region.
For this military exercise, the so -called key American allies such as Japan, South Korea attached great importance to it, and sent out various advanced ships including quasi -aircraft carriers to participate.For example, Japan sent the latest modified Izumo helicopter destroyer to participate in the form of formation. This is the first time that the Izumo has the ability to take off and land fixed wing carrier -based aircraft.During the exercise, the U.S. F-35B fighters will conduct take-off and landing drills on Japanese ships to further enhance the mutual operation capabilities of both sides.South Korea dispatched ships and thousands of soldiers led by the amphibious attack ship of Malloria. This is the largest existing force sent by South Korea since participating in the Pacific Division in 1990.According to the existing information, the United States, Japan and South Korea are likely to form a joint collaboration drill of a carrier combat group with two quasi -carrier combat groups outside the exercise, including joint communication, joint air defense anti -commission, sea interception, joint anti -submarine, ships, ships, ships, ships, ships, ships, ships, ships, ships, ships, ships, and ships.The training of the carrier's mutual descending and other aspects, so as to preview the joint aircraft carrier operations in the Indo -Pacific region in the future.
South Korea sent formations led by the amphibious attack ship of Mariame Island to participate in the military exercise.
In addition, this military exercise will further promote the deepening of the cooperation mechanism of the United States, Japan, India, and Australia to the military field.In recent years, on the basis of the bilateral basis, the United States, Japan and Australia have signed a number of military agreements that can be supported by each other, which has facilitated the Four Kingdoms Joint military operations. Especially the Marabar series of military exercises.The leading exercise fully shows that the mechanism has gradually become a potential military alliance by the original political alliance.From the perspective of future development, the United States will also cooperate closely with other allies in many sensitive areas such as tactical communication and intelligence sharing, and continuously enhance and expand the joint combat capabilities of the ally.
The intention of China is becoming increasingly obvious
Judging from the strategic level of Sino -US relations, the United States has listed China as the primary competitors. From the level of diplomacy, military, economy, etc., it has launched a comprehensive plugging in China.The Pacific-20122 military exercise is also regarded as an important measure to further curb the surrounding China strategy, and its confrontation between China is getting stronger and stronger.In fact, before that, the Pacific Exercise was not completely rejected by China. China also participated in the exercise twice in 2014 and 2016.However, since the Trump administration launched a competitive strategy aimed at China -Russia in 2018, China has never been invited to participate in the Pacific military exercise, which has also gradually made the exercise an important thing in the United States to draw other countries in the Indo -Pacific region to curb China in the Indo -Pacific region to curb China in the Indo -Pacific region.Military activities.
Unmanned ship combat will become this timeAn important subject of military exercise.
Before the Pacific-20122 military exercise began, the US military publicly declared that the main purpose of the exercise was to improve the interoperability, elasticity and agility required by the joint forces and the joint forces to prevent and defeat the main majorThe aggression of large powers in all areas and conflict levels.Schuster, director of the United States Pacific Command Joint Intelligence Center in the United States Pacific Command, also pointed out that this exercise event has a strong lineup and has a strong political influence in the international community, which will allow potential opponents to receive strong deterrence signals.These remarks are self -evident.
From a practical perspective, this time the United States sent the newly formed coastal combat team of the Marine Corps to carry out the expedition to the forefront base combat tactics.confrontation.From the perspective of participating countries, not only all members of the cooperation mechanism of the four countries that are consistent with the core of China, but also all members of the Alliances such as Oukus, but also all countries on the verge of the South China Sea also participated, and the color targeting China is very obvious.In addition, the United States has recently referred to the pragmatic cooperation between China and the Pacific island nation, rendering that China will establish a military base in the South Pacific Island country, etc. For the first time, the South Pacific island country Tangjia will be invitedforce.
In short, in the context of the current Russian conflict that continues, the United States has to focus on many energy to Europe, and still holds a large -scale Pacific military exercise in accordance with usual practice.The established agenda in the United States does not fully involve the energy of the United States. On the other hand, it once again confirms that the United States' strategic focus is still in the Asia -Pacific region, focusing on the confrontation of great powers.From the perspective of future development, the United States will continue to implement a series of measures including various types of joint military exercises in the Asia -Pacific region to create political opposition and camp confrontation to prevent the rise of emerging military forces such as China and other regions to ensure that in the future in the futureThe conflict of major powers occupy an advantageous position.
