The United States Army carried out a high-speed test of the HIMARS rocket system on Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, as part of the Talisman Sabre 2025 military exercise.

The operation also involved forces from Canada and Australia and aimed to demonstrate rapid response and precision strike capabilities from remote locations. After the simulation concluded, vehicles and soldiers were evacuated from the area by a military transport aircraft.
