July 20, 2025

July 16, 2025 - U.S. Army 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3MDTF) conducts the first Mid-Range Capability live-fire exercise outside of the continental United States ... successfully sinking a maritime target with a Standard Missile-6 Force during Exercise Talisman Sabre 25 in Australia. The successful strike validated combined joint targeting and command-and-control interoperability between 3MDTF and the combined-joint force.

The demonstration highlights the strength of the Australia–U.S. Alliance and the rapidly advancing capability and capacity of 3MDTF and the 10th Australian Brigade to deploy advanced, land-based maritime strike capabilities in support of regional security and stability. Talisman Sabre is a bilateral exercise that reflects the close military relationship between Australia and the United States, with multinational participation.
