    Philippine Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph Casabuena rests in the shade on a 100-degree day during amphibious operations with U.S. Marines from Combat Assault Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, July 18, 2017, on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan. The Philippine Marine Corps recently purchased AAVS and are working with U.S. Marines to learn different amphibious procedures – such as hand signaling, egress training, and water operations. This is the first time the Philippine military has trained on an American base. “I learned how to properly assemble and disassemble the MK19 40mm machine gun and M2 .50 caliber machine gun,” said Casabuena, a light armored vehicle driver with Assault Armor Battalion.
