A Marine amphibious assault crewman with 3rd Marine Regiment communicates with other AAVs after landing ashore on North Beach, April 21, at the Naval Education Training Center in Zambales, Philippines, during a bilateral amphibious landing by the Philippine and U.S. Marines as part of exercise Balikatan 2015. Designed to assault any shoreline from the well decks of Navy assault ships, AAVs are highly mobile, tracked armored amphibious vehicles that transport Marines and cargo to and through hostile territory. Balikatan, which translates to “shoulder-to-shoulder” in Filipino, is an annual bilateral exercise between the AFP and the U.S. military, which focuses on improving security cooperation activities, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief capabilities, and crisis response throughout the region in accordance with the Mutual Defense Board and Security Engagement Board.
