REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon/File Photo TAIPEI - Drills in East Asia this summer by the U.S. military body charged with moving munitions and equipment will help it better coordinate and communicate with allies in response to a crisis, its commander said on Friday. Alarmed by growing Chinese assertiveness, whether in the disputed South China Sea or around Chinese-claimed Taiwan, Washington and its friends in the region have been drilling together regularly. The U.S. Transportation Command, or TRANSCOM, is responsible not only for coordinating the pre-positioning of weapons and other equipment around the world by land, air and sea, but also for resupply in the event of conflict. On a visit to East Asia, TRASNCOM Commander Randall Reed, told reporters it was essential to maintain and expand ties in the region so as to ensure a swift U.S. response to disasters and counter threats to peace and security. "We're going to have a series of exercises and will test the current logistics architecture and infrastructure which provides sustained freedom of manoeuvre," he said on a teleconference, without giving further details of location or timing. "We're seeking to demonstrate our ability to rapidly mobilise, then deploy forces from within the United States to locations throughout the region here," Reed added, describing the aim of one exercise, Mobility Guardian. The tasks will permit testing of tactics, techniques and procedures with allies and partners and enhance connectivity, he said. "It will help us deepen relationships and work together even more closely than we already are to bolster regional security." On his trip, Reed has visited Japan and the Philippines and will go to South Korea, all treaty allies of the United States. The militaries of the Philippines and the United States have sailed together in the South China Sea for a seventh time to boost interoperability between the two sides, Manila's armed forces said on Thursday.

Naval chiefs of S. Korea, US, Japan discuss trilateral cooperation against NK threats
The naval chiefs of South Korea, the United States and Japan held a teleconference Thursday to discuss ways to strengthen their trilateral cooperation against North Korean threats, the South's Navy said. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Yang Yong-mo underscored the need for further bolstering their cooperation during the talks with his US and Japanese counterparts, Adm. James Kilby and Adm. Akira Saito, according to the Navy. "Through continued cooperation among South Korea, the US and Japan, North Korea's provocation should be effectively deterred and dealt with and maritime security capabilities should be strengthened," Yang was quoted as saying. The three nations are seeking to strengthen their joint capabilities against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, and have conducted trilateral drills, such as the multi-domain Freedom Edge exercise, as part of such efforts. In March, the nations held joint naval drills involving the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, which marked the first such exercise conducted this year and since US President Donald Trump returned to office in January.

N. Korea warns of stepped-up actions against arrival of US aircraft carrier in S. Korea
The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Tuesday warned of a stepped-up action against the arrival of a US aircraft carrier in South Korea, claiming the US move justifies the North bolstering its nuclear forces. Kim Yo-jong made the condemnation as the USS Carl Vinson, a Nimitz-class US aircraft carrier, arrived at a key naval base in the southeastern city of Busan on Sunday, in the US commitment to providing extended deterrence against North Korean threats. She said the United States has been deploying its strategic assets into the Korean Peninsula at the "constant" level, denouncing the arrival of the US aircraft carrier as Washington's expression of its "most hostile and confrontational will" against the North, according to the Korean Central News Agency. "The action-accompanied hostile policy toward the DPRK pursued by the US at present is offering sufficient justification for the DPRK to indefinitely bolster up its nuclear war deterrent," Kim said in a statement carried by the KCNA. DPRK stands for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "The DPRK is also planning to carefully examine the option for increasing the actions threatening the security of the enemy at the strategic level," Kim warned. She stressed if the US continues to renew its records in conducting military demonstrations against North Korea, her country will be "naturally compelled to renew its records in the exercise of strategic deterrence." The latest arrival of the USS Carl Vinson marked the first such visit by a US aircraft carrier to South Korea since US President Donald Trump's return to the White House in January. The nuclear-powered vessel last visited South Korea in November 2023. Its latest visit also came about eight months after the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier arrived in Busan in June last year to take part in the inaugural Freedom Edge multidomain exercise conducted among South Korea, the US and Japan.
