Exercise Sea Dragon 2025 wrapped up at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, after two weeks of multinational anti-submarine warfare (ASW) training. Led by Commander, Task Force 72, the exercise brought together maritime patrol forces from Australia, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the United States.
Aircrews trained with ASW platforms including the U.S. Navy’s P-8A Poseidon, RAAF P-8A, JMSDF Kawasaki P-1, ROKN P-3 Orion, and IN P-8I Neptune. The training progressed through tracking drills using the MK-30 “SLED” and culminated in live submarine tracking during a U.S. Navy ASW exercise.
"Operating alongside partner nations' maritime patrol forces strengthens security and cooperation, contributing to a free and open Indo-Pacific," said Lt. Cmdr. Dan O’Keefe of CTF 72.
Sea Dragon 2025 enhanced multinational interoperability and included a competition phase. The Royal Australian Air Force won the Dragon Belt award for top ASW performance.
