Colonel Michael Rose, commander of the 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF), stated that a second battery of "Tomahawk" missiles, to be mounted on "Typhoon" launchers, will be deployed in the Asia-Pacific region. It will be stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, which houses the I Corps and the 62nd Air Wing of the U.S. Air Force. The first battery of these missiles is currently located in the Philippines.
