The exercise is a regular event hosted by Thailand, with this year’s installment designed to promote regional peace and security, as well as marking the 25th anniversary of the exercise. Thailand, US, and Singapore armed forces will work in a combined task force headquarters computer simulated exercise. Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, and the US will conduct a series of exercises ranging from civic assistance projects to multi-national peace keeping efforts.
