Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Sailors from four countries met in the waters off Guam Wednesday to start the second iteration of the U.S.-led Pacific Vanguard training exercise, meant to practice tactical cooperation at sea.
According to figures released by the Navy, about 1,500 soldiers total -- coming from Australia, Canada and South Korea, as well as the United States -- will participate in the exercise, which comes six months after the first iteration in May.
