                U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Shannon Smith, 13th Air Expeditionary Task Force commander, speaks to media representatives during Talisman Sabre 25 in Northern Territory, Australia, July 17, 2025. This exercise allows the U.S. Air Force to enhance interoperability with Allies and partners in the region who have similar equipment, shared intelligence, and integrated strategies and contingency planning. Talisman Sabre is the largest bilateral military exercise between Australia and the United States, that advances a safe and secure Indo-Pacific by strengthening relationships and interoperability among key allies and partners, while enhancing collective capabilities to respond to a wide array of potential security concerns.
