    Four military personnel in camouflage uniforms are gathered under a camouflage netting canopy, studying what appears to be a tactical map or planning document on a table. The group includes soldiers in at least two different camouflage patterns, suggesting a joint or multinational military exercise. Colored pins are visible on the map, indicating position marking or operational planning activity.

    Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. Marines discuss orders in 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. 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)
