With UNITAS 2025 officially over, take a moment to check out this highlight. Our live fire sinking exercise (SINKEX), a keystone event of UNITAS 2025, demonstrated the lethality our warfighters bring in security of the region every day. Each SINKEX is conducted in strict compliance with applicable U.S. environmental laws, regulations, and permit requirements to minimize potential environmental harm. This year, hosted by the U.S. in anticipation of the Navy's 250th Birthday, brought together a staggering 8,000 personnel from 26 allied and partner nations! 💪⚓️🎯
