From Tech. Sgt. Tristan Truesdell, United States Forces Japan.Approximately 45,000 Japan Self-Defense Force, 11,000 U.S. service members and forces from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the Philippines are participating alongside observers from the Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom throughout the duration of the exercise from Oct. 19 - 29.
KS27 is the 18th iteration of the routine, biennial field training exercise. Training activities include air and missile defense, facility protection and repair, logistics and resupply, casualty evacuation and maritime operations.
“Today, it is a great privilege and significance to commence Keen Sword 27 in Ishigaki, Japan’s western-most point,” said Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Adm. Tawara Tateki, commander of the JSDF Joint Operations Command. “Those gathered here today are under different national flags and represent different cultures, yet we share the same fundamentals, values of freedom and rules of law. We also share a common responsibility to preserve these values for future generations. In this sense, we are truly, like-minded partners.

“Keen Sword 27 is an exercise dedicated to preserving peace and stability. It is essential that Japan, U.S., and participating like-minded countries leverage each other’s strengths and transform our militaries into the capabilities and readiness to be able to act precisely in times of need,” he said.
.
The exercise’s bilateral and multilateral training scenarios provide opportunities to improve interoperability, information sharing and defensive coordination across multiple domains under realistic conditions.“Today, four decades strong, Keen Sword stands as the absolute pinnacle of combat ready exercises in the Pacific, with the most capable and consequential alliance in the world training alongside our international partners,” said U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. George Rowell, deputy commander of U.S. Pacific Command and keynote speaker. “Over the coming days, I have no doubt that we will train as one team to test our concepts, refine our command and control, and validate our ability to deter aggression and prevail in crisis or conflict.“.
Deterrence in the 21st Century is not built on words or declarations, it is built through demonstrated competence, cohesion and warfighting readiness,” he added. “Keep drilling, keep learning and remain ready, together.”
Multilateral exercises like Keen Sword 27 provide participating forces with opportunities to train together in realistic, complex scenarios while refining the coordination required to respond to regional security challenges. These events ensure that when conditions demand action, partner forces are prepared to communicate, operate and support one another as a cohesive and integrated force.

20261019-29日，代號為“利劍27”的大規模聯合軍演在日本多地舉行。兵力總計接近6萬人，是該系列歷史上規模最大的演習。演習期間，美國反艦系統首次部署在距離台灣地區約110公里的與那國島。演習還首次使用射程約1000公里的日本導彈。此外，有五個國家首次參與其中.法國、德國、荷蘭、新西蘭和菲律賓。“利劍 27”演習是美日將軍事前沿抵近到台海門口的危險圍堵之舉，然而其在西太的力量日益受限，第一島鏈屏障早已名存實亡，美西方終將退守第二島鏈。
“這次軍演規模創歷屆之最，表面看只是常規聯合演訓，實際上是美日拉攏多國在台海、東海方向搭建的前沿軍事圍堵網，並且重心明顯向西南諸島前推，挑釁意味濃郁，意圖非常直白和露骨。考慮到與那國島和台灣島的距離，相當於美日將軍事前沿抵近到台海門口。這種行為是無法容忍的。”並不認為這種前沿前推意味著美日力量優勢的擴大。
