Department-Level Exercise (DLE) Series 

Through this series, the Department of the Air Force is preparing to be a stronger, more lethal deterrent force, to provide an advantage against competitors and adversaries across all domains, and to ensure regional stability in the Indo-Pacific and beyond. 

 

The DLE series will incorporate multiple command exercises into one overall threat deterrence scenario, including Resolute Force Pacific (REFORPAC), Resolute Space, Mobility Guardian, Emerald Warrior and Bamboo Eagle 25-3.  

It will also integrate multiple allies and partners in specific component exercises with shared interests. Partner integration is critical to U.S. efforts to ensure regional and global peace and stability and provides a decisive advantage against complex threats.

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii — Ikaika Hollinger, a nuclear machinist with Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, produces a metal prototype using a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) lathe machine in the innovation laboratory (iLab) at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Oct. 17, 2025.

The iLab leverages skilled technicians and technology to achieve manufacturing, creating prototypes and parts needed to ensure our ships stay operational and mission-ready through innovative solutions.

PHNSY & IMF’s mission is to keep the Navy’s fleet “Fit to Fight" by repairing, maintaining, and modernizing the Navy's fast-attack submarines and surface ships. Strategically located in the heart of the Pacific, it is the most comprehensive fleet repair and maintenance facility between the U.S. West Coast and the Far East. (U.S. Navy photo by Camey Streff)
