Talisman Saber, a joint exercise held off the north-eastern shores of Australia, is Australia's largest biennial training exercise with forces from U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM). The exercise merges two full-spectrum events, exercises Tandem Thrust and Crocodile, to enable the forces to meet Australian and U.S. training objectives in a sophisticated warfighting environment and to reinforce the crucial cooperative strategic relationship between the countries. The primary focus of Talisman Saber is to exercise the headquarters element of the principal joint task force (JTF) for PACOM.
