    Exercise Balikatan       

    U.S. Navy and Philippine Navy Sailors conduct a foreign object debris walk down on the flight deck of the forward-deployed amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD 48) prior to flight operations during Balikatan 22, off the coast of the Philippines, March 31, 2022. Balikatan is an annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military designed to strengthen bilateral interoperability, capabilities, trust, and cooperation built over decades shared experiences. Balikatan, Tagalog for 'shoulder-to-shoulder,' is a longstanding bilateral exercise between the Philippines and the United States highlighting the deep-rooted partnership between both countries. Balikatan 22 is the 37th iteration of the exercise and coincides with the 75th anniversary of U.S.-Philippine security cooperation.
