United States Pacific Command
This command name is outdated. The U.S. Department of Defense renamed U.S. Pacific Command to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command in May 2018.
Full reasoning
The article uses "United States Pacific Command" in a present-tense list of current Department of Defense unified combatant commands. That is no longer the command’s official name.
The Department of Defense announced on May 30, 2018 that it was renaming the combatant command as U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. A current DoD Historical Office publication likewise lists "U.S. Indo-Pacific Command" and explicitly notes that it was "Established as U.S. Pacific Command" and that the "Name changed in May 2018."
So the text is outdated: the current name is United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), not United States Pacific Command.
