Exercise Talisman Sabre has been conducted between Australian and the United States biennially since 2005. The exercise is a key opportunity to multilaterally plan, practice and exercise with our large cohort of international partners.
Exercise Talisman Sabre is designed to test our respective forces in planning and conducting combined (multinational) and joint (multi-service) Task Force operations, and improve the combat readiness and interoperability between Australian and United States forces, and partner nations.
Exercise Talisman Sabre is conducted across a number of locations across Australia and offshore, using both Defence and non-Defence training areas. These locations provide a realistic rehearsal of how a large military force would flow into a broad area of operations.
Beginning in mid-July, Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025 will be the largest edition of the exercise to date. Further information on Talisman Sabre 2025 is available through the Defence website.
