Kaiju Rain 26 Teaser

This video teaser was created for Kaiju Rain 26 to emphasize the role of sensing, communication and decision-making in enabling forward-deployed forces to rapidly translate information into action across multiple domains. Kaiju Rain 26 is a III Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group-led exercise focused on integrating multi-domain information capabilities, strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance and supporting regional stability in the Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Raymond Tong) This video contains audio from a USMC enterprise licensed asset from Ocular Sounds.
