The world’s biggest maritime exercise is in its 25th year and 26 countries are involved.

Bishop says over 65 members of 19 Wing Comox are on hand.

He notes that 19 Wing Comox Commander Tom Dunne has played a major part in the training.

RIMPAC wraps up on Thursday. The next exercise will be in 2018.
