Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. Marines discuss orders given by the fire direction center during artillery live-fire training April 12 at Crow Valley, Philippines. The training is part of Balikatan 2013, an annual bilateral exercise in its 29th iteration, which provides a venue for AFP and U.S. military forces to develop and continue to enhance interoperability across a wide range of military actions. “Alpha Battery and their Philippine Marine Battery counterparts are conducting a live-fire shoot with our M777A2 155 mm howitzers and their M101 105mm howitzers,” said U.S. Marine Capt. Ricardo R. Bitanga. “This also happens to be the first day the Philippine Marines have brought out their cannons for live-fire.” The U.S. Marines are with Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, and is currently assigned to 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III MEF under the unit deployment program. Bitanga is the executive officer for Alpha Battery. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Courtney G. White/Released)
