U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD 48) prepare to load a truck-mounted mobile crane from the Philippine Navy 3rd Naval Combat Engineer Battalion using a 60-ton crane aboard Ashland during a multinational Maritime Cooperation Activity (MCA) with Armed Forces of the Philippines in Manila, Philippines, April 9, 2026. The U.S. Navy routinely operates with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and partners and allies through MCAs to continually develop, exercise and enhance multi-domain tactical interoperability to uphold peace and security in the region. TF Ashland is a flexible, forward-deployed crisis response force led by the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Purpose-built to integrate with allies and partners, TF Ashland supports a free and open Indo-Pacific by providing immediate response capabilities for any contingency.
