A U.S. Army Soldier assigned to the 1st Battalion, 27th Regiment, 2nd Mobile Brigade, 25th Infantry Division operates the Beast+ controller during the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) rotation 26-01 exercise at Kahuku Training Area (KTA), Hawaii, Nov. 11, 2025. The Beast+ is part of the Army's "Transformation in Contact" initiative, and it builds upon previous "Beast" hardware, adding more capabilities while remaining portable for use by soldiers on foot. JPMRC 26-01 integrates 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 Spc Justin Hicks)
