Philippine Navy Senior Chief Darwin Rombon, a construction electrician chief assigned to 3rd Naval Combat Engineer Battalion, documents the lifting of a cement mixer as U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD 48) use a 60-ton crane aboard Ashland during a multilateral 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.
