A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II assigned to the 25th Fighter Squadron out of Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, flies over a training range during a combined arms live-fire exercise (CALFEX) at Colonel Ernesto Ravina Air Base Tarlac, Philippines, during Exercise Balikatan May 15, 2018. The CALFEX event showcased the orchestration of air and ground troops to seize an objective during Exercise Balikatan. The exercise was designed to integrate the Philippine and U.S. forces in a combined-arms scenario and to expose them to the benefits of integrated fires. Exercise Balikatan, in its 34th iteration, is an annual U.S.-Philippine military training exercise focused on a variety of missions, including humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, counterterrorism and other combined military operations held from May 7 to May 18.
