Adm. Samuel J. Paparo, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, participates in an honors ceremony hosted by Australian Chief of Defence Force Adm. David Johnston at the Australian Defence Force headquarters in Canberra, Feb. 19, 2025. Paparo’s visit built upon the U.S.-Australian bilateral relationship that acts as an anchor for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and around the world. USINDOPACOM is committed to enhancing stability in the Indo-Pacific region by promoting security cooperation, encouraging peaceful development, responding to contingencies, deterring aggression and, when necessary, fighting to win.
