    U.S. Army Spc. Conner Allred, an infantryman assigned to 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Mobile Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, pilots a First-Person View drone via a handheld controller in preparation for a counter landing live-fire exercise as part of Exercise Balikatan 2026, at La Paz Sand Dunes, Laoag City, Philippines, April 25, 2026. FPV goggles and handheld controllers allow operators to navigate around obstacles more accurately. Balikatan is a longstanding annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military that represents the strength of our alliance, improves our capable combined force, and demonstrates our commitment to regional peace and prosperity.
