U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Nicholas Cascio, a combat engineer with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, paints a door frame as part of the construction of a health care clinic during Balikatan 23, Baler, Aurora, Philippines, April 21, 2023. During Balikatan 23, 9th ESB partnered with 355th Aviation Engineer Wing to provide the surrounding community localized access to medical care as part of the Engineer Civic Assistance Program. 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. Balikatan 23 featured three engineering projects as well as cooperative health engagements. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Sebastian Riveraaponte)
