    U.S. Marines with 3rd Marine Logistics Group and 3rd Marine Division Headquarters Battalion adjust their aim in a stable position at a live-fire range during Exercise Balikatan at Colonel Ernesto Ravina Air Base, Philippines, May 8, 2018. The Marines set their aim before they participated in a live-fire range, which focused on their ability to fire while moving toward their targets and maintaining accurate aim. Exercise Balikatan, in its 34th iteration, is an annual U.S.-Philippine military training exercise focused on a variety of missions, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, counterterrorism and other combined military operations held from May 7 to 18.
