JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, HAWAII, UNITED STATES
Stakeholders and technical experts from Pacific Air Forces and the Department of the Air Force attended a Warfighting Communications Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM) to strengthen communications capabilities across the Indo-Pacific at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, on Dec. 3-5, 2025.
The collaborative forum is designed to align efforts to bridge critical gaps in PACAF’s Information Technology Strategy, resulting in the empowerment of warfighters with resilient, secure, and integrated communications that help maintain command decision advantages.
Participants worked to align their activities, plans, and goals across command and control, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and logistics, drawing on lessons from recent exercises.
The collaboration also addressed aligning upcoming technology investments and deployments, and defined ways to achieve shared initiatives without redundancy. It also reinforced the importance of integrating with Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management initiatives.
The TEM directly supports PACAF’s IT Strategy of outpacing adversaries in all domains by providing mission partners with mission-tailored, resilient platforms. The meeting ensured stakeholders can leverage shared infrastructure, coordinate deployments, and operationalize the Department of Air Force Battle Network through fostering transparency and shared understanding.
This approach strengthens PACAF’s readiness capacity and will help ensure the reliable, resilient communications needed to maintain air power dominance in the Indo-Pacific.
