#RimOfThePacific

RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific) is the world’s largest international maritime exercise, and the 2022 edition is the 28th exercise in the series that began in 1971. Above you can see Australian Army reconnaissance team members moving into their position during an amphibious raid as part of the Rim of the Pacific.

The number of internet users worldwide will soon reach the 5-billion mark. The world has never been so connected. Great photos can spread like wildfire, but the story and the necessary context sometimes gets left behind. In TFB’s  Photo Of The Day we will always accompany the images with a background and credits to the maker, in this case, Lt. Matthew Stroup. Today’s photos are taken in San Diego, CA, at the RIMPAC 2018 exercise. RIMPAC stands for Rim of the Pacific.
