    U.S. service members from the current iteration of the rotational Air Contingent in the Philippines recover a C-130 Hercules following its first bilateral mission at Brigadier General Benito N. Ebuen Air Base, Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines, Sept. 26, 2016. The Yokota Air Base, Japan-based aircraft and crew, members of the 36th Contingency Response Group from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, and other units from across U.S. Pacific Command will conduct bilateral training missions and subject matter expert exchanges alongside their Philippine Air Force counterparts. The Air Contingent is helping build the capacity of the Philippine Air Force and increases joint training, promotes interoperability and provides greater and more transparent air and maritime situational awareness to ensure safety for military and civilian activities in international waters and airspace. Its missions include air and maritime domain awareness, personnel recovery, combating piracy, and assuring access to the air and maritime domains in accordance with international law.
