RIMPAC still on, other military exercises canceled
RIMPAC still on, other military exercises canceled
By William Cole March 31, 2020 Star Advertiser
The Rim of the Pacific maritime exercise, which two years ago drew 25 nations, 46 surface ships, five submarines, 17 land forces and more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel to Hawaii and Southern California, is still on for this summer — at least right now, the Navy said Monday.
RIMPAC, running through the month of July, boosts Hawaii’s economy by more than $50 million.
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command canceled Exercise Balikatan 2020, scheduled for May 4-15 in the Philippines, which last year saw the involvement of about 3,500 American service members.
