U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Timothy Love, left, battalion commander of 3d Littoral Combat Team, 3d Marine Littoral Regiment, 3d Marine Division, and Sgt. Maj. Lance Waller, battalion sergeant major of 3d LCT, prepare to depart Batan Island in a U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules assigned to the 39th Airlift Squadron while participating in the Maritime Key Terrain Security Operations event during Exercise Balikatan 25 in the Philippines, April 28, 2025. The MKTSO event experiments with the Littoral Reconnaissance Team concept by deploying low-signature, light-weight formations to the Batanes island chain to rehearse Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations, test sensing capabilities, and simulate securing and defending key maritime terrain. Balikatan is a longstanding annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military designed to strengthen our ironclad alliance, improve our capable combined force, and demonstrate our commitment to regional security and stability.
