    Philippine Marine Staff Sgt. Calixton Deatras demonstrates how to start a fire using only bamboo and a knife during a jungle environmental survival training course in Zambales Province April 10 as a part of Exercise Balikatan 2013. Philippine reconnaissance Marines held the course to teach U.S. service members their tactics on jungle survival. Balikatan is an annual Philippine-U.S. bilateral exercise. Humanitarian assistance and training activities enable the Philippine and American service members to build lasting relationships, train together and provide assistance in communities where the need is the greatest. Deatras is the armory noncommissioned officer with the Philippines Force Reconnaissance Battalion. The U.S. service members are with 3rd Law Enforcement Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, III MEF, and Combat Logistics Regiment 35, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III MEF.
