The exercise aims to develop and improve combat readiness, humanitarian assistance procedures and increase the interoperability between the three forces of the United States, Australia and Japan.

“Cope North gives us the opportunity to validate how effective our training is in a complex and demanding air combat scenario.”

Number 2 Squadron E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning aircraft will also deploy for the exercise and provide a command and control capability.

A C-130J Hercules is participating in Exercise Cope North as part of the humanitarian assistance scenario and will provide an air drop capability and combat search and rescue element. In addition, a combat support element and aeromedical evacuation team will deploy to enhance interoperability between Australian, United States and Japanese forces.

Cope North is held at Andersen Air Force base in Guam and hosted by the United States Pacific Air Force.

This is the fifth time the RAAF has participated in Cope North Guam, a bi-annual exercise that started 1978. This year’s exercise will be held until the 3rd March 2017.
