US Army deploys and test-fires Typhon mid-range missile system in Philippines/Japan

The post describes forward deployment and first overseas test-firing of the US Army’s new Mid-Range Capability (Typhon), able to launch SM-6 and Tomahawk from land, plus expanded HIMARS roles (including anti-ship) and rapid infiltration logistics across the first island chain. Novelty is the operationalization of these long-range ground-based fires in new locations with persistent presence and sensor-to-shooter integration drills aimed at maritime strike and access denial scenarios.
