U.S. Army graphic created using Adobe Photoshop, representing the long-range maritime air assault conducted by 2nd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, Philippine Army soldiers assigned to 54th Infantry “Magilas” Battalion, 5th Infantry Division, and Australian Army soldiers assigned to 5th/7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment during Exercise Balikatan 2026 at Itbayat Airport, Itbayat, Philippines. During the training event, joint forces moved between islands to secure the airfield and hold security positions for the incoming High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) Rapid Infiltration (HIRAIN). Balikatan is a longstanding annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military that represents the strength of our alliance, improves our capable combined force, and demonstrates our commitment to regional peace and prosperity.
