USINDOPACOM is the United States Indo-Pacific Command. It is one of the eleven unified combatant commands of the United States Department of Defense. USINDOPACOM is responsible for U.S. military operations across a vast area of responsibility that includes the Indo-Pacific region. This region is defined as covering approximately 52 percent of the Earth's surface, from the waters west of the continental United States to the western coast of India and from Antarctica to the North Pole.

The command's mission is to enhance the security of the United States, its territories, its people, and its allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific. It achieves this by deterring aggression, maintaining stability, and responding to crises. USINDOPACOM works to build security cooperation through exercises, training, and engagements with regional partners. This includes military-to-military interactions, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief operations.

The headquarters of USINDOPACOM is located at Camp H. M. Smith, Hawaii. The command is led by a four-star admiral. USINDOPACOM plays a crucial role in shaping the strategic environment in one of the world's most dynamic and economically important regions. Its activities are designed to uphold a free and open Indo-Pacific, promoting international law and norms.
