Thomas, both 15W unmanned aircraft systems operators assigned to the Multifunctional Reconnaissance Company, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Mobile Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, rapidly employ the Skydio X2 drone to demonstrate drone-defender capabilities during Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) 26-01 at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Nov. 7, 2025. The Skydio X2 is used for short-range aerial reconnaissance and to support counter-unmanned aerial system training. JPMRC 26-01 will integrate U.S. forces, along with military members from France, Malaysia, Maldives, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, alongside New Zealand Staff Observers to refine joint capabilities and rehearse 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 Staff Sgt.
