The United States Navy and Indian armed forces again joined together to conduct integrated sea and air engagements off the coast of India on June 23 and 24. According to a press release, the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group (CSG 5) participated in joint multi-domain engagements with the Indian Navy and Air Force. These engagements are designed to build on the high-calibre integration achieved during the Theodore Roosevelt Strike Group engagement in March 2021. "Our nations share a common interest in a secure Indo-Pacific," said Rear Admiral Will Pennington, commander, Carrier Strike Group 5/Task Force 70. "Working collectively with like-minded nations to provide full-spectrum awareness and defense of the vast Indian Ocean expanse ensures stability in the region."
