#Pacific partner engagements remain increasingly innovative, effective -- The #USArmy has always had a footprint in the Pacific region. But in the past, training exercises with those nations were not linked together in a meaningful way that would reflect complex operational dynamics, said Lt. Gen. Stephen R. Lanza. Today, exercises are taking place simultaneously in different places -- South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Alaska, and Hawaii, for example -- with multiple command posts using forces that are adaptable and scalable, he explained. Lanza serves as commander of I Corps, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, or #JBLM, in Washington. He spoke at a media roundtable at the #Pentagon, Jan. 23. This new way of engaging with partners, he said, comes from the Army Operating Concept, which serves as a blueprint for winning in a complex world by preventing conflict from occurring in the first place and by shaping the security environment by training and collaborating with partner nations. Lanza then added some developing news: the 7th Infantry Division, an #ICorps component that was stood up to be a #training readiness oversight headquarters for the brigades at JBLM, is now going through the process of possibly operationalizing its headquarters. That would make it deployable. | #Army #news: army.mil/article/141626 | #ArmyStrong, #Readiness, #RAF, #RegionalAlignment, United States Pacific Command, U.S. Pacific Command, #PacificRegion
