A “Wolfhound” from the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, sprints to his objective during a joint live fire exercise. During the exercise, U.S. Soldiers, along with their Philippine and Australian Army counterparts, conducted platoon live-fires to build interoperability between their respective units. Subject matter experts from all nations participated in an exchange of tactics, techniques and procedures spanning all warfighting functions.
Balikatan, Tagalog for “shoulder-to-shoulder,” is an annual bilateral exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. military. The exercise provides unique opportunities for participating forces to increase interoperability and provide tangible benefits for the people of the Philippines. Humanitarian civic assistance projects support local communities in the Philippines and strengthen our partnership.
