🚨 Forget Iran, US Preparing for China! REFORPAC 2025: Massive Military Exercise Underway

According to the Air Force article, REFORPAC 2025 is part of the Air Force’s “first in a generation” Department-Level Exercise (DLE) series. Here’s why it’s significant historically:

✅ Largest PACAF-led Contingency Exercise Ever:

• Over 300 aircraft and 12,000 personnel involved, spanning Hawaii, Guam, Japan, and large swaths of the Pacific.

• Covers 3,000 miles of battlespace across more than 50 locations.

✅ Historical Scale:

• It dwarfs single exercises like Cope North, Valiant Shield, or earlier versions of RED FLAG-Alaska in aircraft numbers, scale, and multinational integration.

• Even compared to Cold War-era Pacific drills, REFORPAC combines more complex, modern missions: distributed logistics, agile combat employment (ACE), space integration, and simulated high-end conflict conditions.

• The only larger “multi-exercise” efforts might be past U.S. joint war games globally, such as Global Guardian or Ulchi Freedom Guardian in Korea—but those are either region-specific or purely U.S.-allied drills, not quite the same integrated Pacific-wide scope.

✅ Why It Matters:

• Reflects the Air Force’s pivot toward preparing for conflict in the Indo-Pacific, especially under threat scenarios involving a peer adversary (i.e. China).

• A test-bed for new concepts like operating from austere bases, rapid dispersal, and sustained combat ops under missile threat.

• Aligns with broader U.S. strategies like the Pacific Deterrence Initiative.

In short:

REFORPAC 2025 is the Air Force’s largest Pacific exercise ever and one of the most ambitious multinational air exercises in U.S. history. It represents a major leap in scale and complexity compared to past Pacific drills, reflecting the U.S. military’s shift toward potential high-end conflict in the Indo-Pacific.
