Operation Pathways

[2] Previous Pathways have included exercises in Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Palau, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and the United States.

From January to May, about 880 personnel from the 2-25 Stryker Brigade Combat Team completed three exercises for Pathway 15-1,[3] including Cobra Gold in Thailand, Foal Eagle in South Korea, and Balikatan in the Philippines.

From June to October, the 3-25 Stryker Brigade Combat Team sent about 840 personnel to complete three exercises,[3] including Hamel in Australia, Garuda Shield in Indonesia, and Keris Strike in Malaysia.

In June and July, about 420 personnel from the 1-25 Stryker Brigade Combat Team completed three exercises for Pathway 15-3,[3] including Khan Quest in Mongolia, Orient Shield in Japan, and Hoguk in South Korea.

Two of these exercises were Reverse Pathways, and the other two were traditionally naval exercises that the United States Army joined in through the Multi-Domain Task Force (or MDTF) led by 17FAB as a part of the Army's pilot program for multi-domain operations.

19-2 consisted of two exercises from July to September focused on the multi-domain task force led by 2 ID DIVARTY and 17 FAB.

In October 2018, General Robert Brooks Brown announced changes to the Pacific Pathways program to utilize the Pathways to compete with rivals in the Indo-Pacific area by spending longer time periods in priority nations to build deeper relationships.

This design will mean that units will be in hubs in treaty nations for 4–6 months, and will be positioned west of the international date line.
