U.S. Marines, front, High Mobility Artillery Rocket System operators with 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, currently forward deployed in the Indo-Pacific as part of the Unit Deployment Program, and U.S. Sailors with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, transport a simulated casualty during a casualty evacuation exercise as part of Orient Shield 25 at Yausubetsu Maneuver Area, Hokkaido, Japan, Sept. 21, 2025. Orient Shield 25 is a large-scale U.S. Army, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force and Australian Army 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. During Orient Shield, JGSDF members train alongside service members from U.S. Army Pacific, U.S. Army Japan, 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force, 3rd Marine Division and selected Joint Force service members to strengthen interoperability and readiness between the U.S.-Japan-Australia alliance to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific.
