Personnel of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) visit the United States Coast Guard Cutter William Hart in preparation for a fast-rope insertion exercise during the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2026 in Hawaii. The visit provided an opportunity to familiarize participants with the platform and strengthen interoperability and operational coordination with the United States Coast Guard ahead of the scheduled training serial. Thirty nations, over 30 surface ships, five submarines, 15 national land forces, more than 206 aircraft and 30,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC in and around the Hawaiian Islands, June 24 to July 31. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2026 is the 30th exercise in the series that began in 1971. [Philippine Coast Guard photo by LTJG Lara Jade Ogatis]
