Bilateral Naval Exercise in the Pacific
On September 28-30, the Russian Pacific Fleet and the U.S. Seventh Fleet held their bilateral Pacific Eagle naval exercises in the Pacific. The exercises took place in Russian territorial and international waters. The Pacific Eagle emphasized maritime security and counter-terror operations at sea, among other things, incorporating surface and aviation elements of both fleets. This was the largest combined exercise between Russia and America's Pacific Fleets since 1998, and the first since the War on Terror began in 2001.
