    U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, refuel a CH-47 chinook helicopter before a sling load training exercise at Wheeler Army Airfield, Hawaii, Oct. 21, 2025. The sling load training spanned three days and included cold load training on a CH-47 helicopter, equipment familiarization, and concluded with live sling load operations.

    The United States Army Pacific (USARPAC) will conduct Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) Rotation 26-01 from October 28 to November 16, 2025, in and around the Hawaiian island chain. This exercise is designed to validate the combat readiness of the 3rd Mobile Brigade (3MBDE), 25th Infantry Division Artillery (DIVARTY), and the 125th Division Signal Battalion in a joint, multinational, multidomain training environment.

    JPMRC Rotation 26-01 will integrate U.S. forces, multinational partners, and joint capabilities to train tactics, techniques, and procedures required to dominate jungle and archipelagic terrain during large-scale combat operations. The exercise underscores the U.S. Army’s commitment to ensuring regional security and strengthening partnerships in the Indo-Pacific area of responsibility. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Duke Edwards)
