Quad Nations Conduct Tabletop Exercise in Tokyo

The event aimed to boost regional disaster response collaboration.

The Quad Nations — Japan, Australia, India, and the United States — recently held a Tabletop Exercise in Tokyo on September 3 and 4, 2026. Hosted by Japan's Ministry of Defense, this exercise aimed to advance the Quad Indo-Pacific Logistics Network, focusing on natural disaster scenarios. It was part of an ongoing effort, agreed upon in May 2026, to enhance civilian response capabilities. The Quad partners worked on leveraging logistics strengths and developing Standard Operating Procedures for a better coordinated response to crises. They reaffirmed their commitment to joint cooperation and expressed condolences for the recent devastating floods in the region.
