    U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Sam Hoffman, an aviation survival technician (AST) assigned to Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point in Kapolei, Hawaii, hangs from a hoist line attached to an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter during search and rescue training at Bellows Air Force Base, Hawaii, July 9, 2026. RIMPAC 2026 will build on the success of RIMPAC 2024 with a larger contingent of partners demonstrating the inherent flexibility of maritime forces. The exercise will cover a wide range of capabilities including amphibious operations, gunnery and missile proficiency, anti-submarine warfare, air defense exercises, military medicine, humanitarian assistance and disaster response, counter-piracy, mine clearance, explosive ordnance disposal, and diving and salvage operations. Throughout the exercise, partners train and operate together to strengthen our collective forces and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific.

    A military naval helicopter is captured in low-altitude flight or hover over an open grassy field. The aircraft is painted in a gray color scheme with 'NAVAL' markings visible on the fuselage, consistent with a Sikorsky Sea King or similar naval helicopter. The rotor blades are in motion, and debris or dust is being kicked up from the ground below.
    A gray military naval helicopter, marked 'NAVAL' on its fuselage, is landed on a grassy field with rotors still spinning. Two individuals are visible near the open side door — one in full tactical/flight gear and one shirtless civilian — appearing to board or disembark the aircraft. The setting appears to be a rural or semi-remote area with green hills and vegetation in the background.
    A rescue swimmer or search-and-rescue technician is suspended mid-air from a helicopter hoist cable against an overcast sky. The individual is wearing full rescue gear including a blue helmet marked 'USCG', a harness, and high-visibility gloves. This appears to be either an active rescue operation or a training exercise conducted by the United States Coast Guard.
    A USCG (United States Coast Guard) rescue swimmer is kneeling on what appears to be a dam or bridge surface, attending to a simulated or actual casualty secured in an orange rescue litter/basket. The rescuer is wearing full rescue gear including a blue USCG helmet, red life vest, dark dry suit, and yellow Mechanix gloves. The setting appears to be a mountainous, tropical or subtropical environment with green hills and overcast skies in the background.
    A red U.S. Coast Guard helicopter hovers above a large concrete structure, likely a dam or flood control facility, while personnel conduct what appears to be a rescue or training exercise. One person in an orange safety harness is rappelling or suspended on the vertical concrete wall, while two other individuals stand on top of the structure observing. The scene is set against a lush green hillside under a partly cloudy blue sky.
