150709-N-XM324-108 TIMOR SEA (July 9, 2015) Lt. j.g. Ridge Alkonis, right, from Claremont, Calif., gives Rear Adm. John Alexander, commander of Battle Force 7th Fleet, a tour of the combat information center aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) during Talisman Sabre 2015. Talisman Sabre is a biennial exercise that provides an invaluable opportunity for nearly 30,000 U.S. and Australian defense forces to conduct operations in a combined, joint and interagency environment that will increase both countries’ ability to plan and execute a full range of operations from combat missions to humanitarian assistance efforts.
