The World's Biggest Military Exercise Gets Underway

The world's biggest military exercise is getting underway in the waters around Hawaii. It's called 'Rim of the Pacific' or 'RIMPAC 2014'.

It's been running since 1971 and allows emerging nations from the Asia Pacific region to rub shoulders with the military might of the US and China.

Tech Sergeant Michael Jackson of the US Air Force sets the scene for us.
