The alliance has been showcased with the hand in hand effort of the HIMARS launching in Western Australian, Lancelin during Ex HIGHBALL on the 1st Aug 2023. Exercise HIGHBALL is a bi-lateral exercise providing support to the manning of the JTF 519 element for the sensitive bilateral Australian and US exercise aimed at developing the Australian Defence Force concepts (ADF) of employment of land–based long-ranged rockets and missiles in the costal defence and maritime strike role. The main focus is the ability of the ADF and US capabilities to deliver integrated targeting information to the HIMARS launcher over extended rangers. America’s long-lasting alliance with Australia was demonstrated with the successful launch of the HIMARS rocket, showing the continued commitment to the security and stability thought the Indo-Pacific region demonstrated that the two militaries are ready to defend the area. *** Local Caption *** In accordance with Government direction in response to Defence Strategic Review 2023, Defence is rapidly preparing for the introduction into service of mobile land-based precision long-range rocket artillery and maritime strike missile systems. In a combined US – Australian initiative, Exercise HIGHBALL is being conducted over July – August 2023 to refine how the ADF will employ long-range multi-domain strike systems. Conducted from Lancelin into the Western Australia Exercise Area by Australia’s Headquarters Joint Operations Command and the US Indo-Pacific Command, Exercise HIGHBALL demonstrates the ADF’s commitment to the Defence Strategic Review 2023 recommendation that LAND 8113 Phases 2-4 – Long-Range Fires should be accelerated and expanded.
