Part of both the Republic of Fiji Military Forces and the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's defense strategy is to addresses climate change. The planting of palms, dilo trees, and mangroves was an effort to strengthen the coastline with root systems that prevent local silt from pummeling the nearby barrier reef. Opportunities, such as Exercise Cartwheel, provide a platform to deepen understanding and preparedness, which strengthens and enhances key relationships with partner nations for a free and open Indo-Pacific.
