The ongoing "Rim of the Pacific" (RIMPAC) naval exercises is a great opportunity for training and planning for combined naval operations.
"RIMPAC20 is a great avenue for our Navy to train participating commanders, staff, and forces in planning and execution of combined naval operations. It will likewise provide an opportunity for officers and crew of FF-150 to work in conjunction as a team since most of them have undergone separate, individual trainings," said Naval Task Force 80.5 and BRP Jose Rizal (FF-150) commander, Captain Jerry Garrido, in a statement Tuesday.
RIMPAC20 formally started on Monday and will end on August 31.
BRP Jose Rizal, which arrived in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on August 15, is part of the Task Group composed of USS Lake Erie, USCGC Munro, and HMAS Arunta.
Garrido said the RIMPAC will provide "resources and environment that permits international participants like the Philippines to achieve their individual and collective training objectives."
Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, RIMPAC20 will be purely executed at sea to ensure the safety of all participating military forces.
Participating nations for this year's RIMPAC exercises include Australia, Brunei, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, the Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and the United States.
RIMPAC20 is led by the United States Pacific Fleet that is considered as the world's largest and premier joint combined naval exercise.
