The coronavirus pandemic has proved little hindrance to Talisman Sabre, the biennial military exercise in Australia involving the United States and its allies, one U.S. admiral said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday.
Rear Adm. Chris Engdahl, commander of Expeditionary Strike Group 7, said certain components of Talisman Sabre, which began in late June and runs through mid-August, have been adjusted in light of COVID-19, but the pandemic also provided unplanned training opportunities.
