Maritime teamwork in action 🌊

The @Australian_Navy's HMAS Perth conducted a replenishment at sea with the @USNavy's Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln, while attached to Carrier Strike Group 3 in the 📍 South China Sea.

These deployments support long-term security and prosperity by preserving a rules-based order, enhancing cooperation and developing capability.

Deterring from a distance

In July, an @AusAirForce P-8A Poseidon and personnel from 92 Wing deployed on Exercise Medusa Fury to Hawaii to conduct testing of the AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM).

This activity broadened the ADF’s maritime strike options, transitioned LRASM employment beyond the F/A-18F Super Hornet and enhanced the reach and flexibility of Australia’s air and maritime integration.

The LRASM is an air-launched precision-guided semi-autonomous missile designed to destroy high-value, well-defended maritime targets at ranges in excess of 370km.

It is a significant upgrade over other maritime strike weapons in Air Force’s inventory by allowing the targeting of sophisticated maritime targets at significantly longer range.

The expansion of the ADF’s long-range strike capabilities – as identified in the National Defence Strategy (NDS) – further enhances Defence’s ability to deliver deterrence through denial as an integrated, focused force.

While it was assumed, this is the first official US confirmation that UH-60Ms from the 1-228th Aviation Regiment are now supporting JTF-WHEM missions.

Based out of Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras, they have been using Manta's Eloy Alfaro Air Base while deployed to Ecuador.

Australia will conduct its 17th surveillance mission by aircraft 🇯🇵🤝🇦🇺

From mid-Sep to early Oct, @AusAirForce P-8A will conduct surveillance activities against illicit maritime activities, including North Korea’s ship-to-ship transfers prohibited by #UNSC resolutions👀

@HHunternight Surely, they refueled from someone. Did you catch the tanker?
