Credible, ready forces help to preserve peace and prevent conflict. Talisman Sabre participants can further enhance their ability to respond to crises as part of a Joint or Combined effort. TS 23 is the largest bilateral military exercise between Australia and the United States advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific by strengthening relationships and interoperability among key allies and enhancing our collective capabilities to respond to a wide array of potential security concerns.
