Talisman Saber
One major exercise for 2005 is Talisman Saber 05, to be held in June 2005. Planning for this combined exercise commenced early 2003 and is the major Australian/US exercise for the year. Talisman Saber ‘05 is a combined US/AUS joint service exercise in June 2005, on the coast of Australia
The TALISMAN SABER'05 STAFFEX was held 12-17 September 2004 in Japan. PEOC3T SPO will provide C2 System Integration support to PACOM, USARPAC and 1/501st who will act as the exercise ARFOR. Initial planning conference, to include discussions relative to Information Management, C2 and COP was planned for 12-23 April. Initial testing of systems and address books was tentatively scheduled in Sept 04 between SPO lab facilities, SPAWAR, PACOM and AUS forces. Although early in the planning cycle, MSEL development, network architecture, CENTRIX connectivity, equipment availability and training are currently being discussed with PACOM and USARPAC personnel. A JTFW node(s) is also being planned for tactical level units and the JCFLCC afloat. It is also possible that either the HSV (High Speed Vessel) or TSV (Theater Support Vessel) will be an active player in this exercise. SPO C2 support personnel are working with USARPAC G-6 personnel on a possible C2 platform design for these vessels. PACOM envisions this exercise as a major step forward in COALITION training between US and AUS forces.
Australia has the most robust set of range and training facilities for air, land and sea operations in the Pacific Rim. The facilities range from well-developed, instrumented training ranges to austere sites with little existing infrastructure. DOD embarked on a comprehensive plan to study expanded use of these training areas to support the TALISMAN SABER exercise series and other future training initiatives. Future Australia/U.S. combined training events will exercise Combined Task Force-level air, land and sea operations to a level rarely found outside the United States.
