The leaders discussed how USARPAC supports Malaysia’s vision of building capabilities in East Malaysia, and how the shared use and future development of the Kota Belud Partner Training Center can provide a scalable Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center–Exportable (JPMRC-X) location to enhance force readiness and support high-end training near key maritime terrain.
