A U.S. Army Soldier assigned to 3rd Mobile Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, provides hands-on instruction on the M7 rifle system to members of the Philippine Army during Exercise Salaknib 2026 at Fort Magsaysay, Philippines, April 6, 2026. The instruction highlighted the capabilities and employment of the Army’s next-generation weapon systems, reflecting the division’s role in ongoing transformation efforts while enabling partner forces to better understand and integrate these systems into combined operations. Soldiers showcased key components, discussed tactical applications, and answered questions to enhance shared understanding and operational effectiveness. This engagement strengthens interoperability, builds mutual trust, and reinforces the U.S.-Philippines Alliance while supporting a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Army photo by Cpl. Lilly Ekberg)
