U.S. Soldiers, Japan Ground Self Defense Force personnel, and Australian soldiers gather in front of a UH-60 Black Hawk for a group photo during Orient Shield 25 at Sekiyama Training Area, Niigata, Japan, Sept. 20, 2025. Orient Shield 25 is a large-scale U.S. Army, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) and Australian’s field exercise that focuses on converging U.S. Army Multi-Domain Operations and JGSDF Cross-Domain Operations through bilateral field training and live fire exercises that focus on a dynamic forward posture, enhancing tactical skills and interoperability. Now in its 40th iteration, OS25 underscores the ironclad commitment by the United States, Japan and Australia to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
