    Japan Ground Self-Defense Force 1st Lt. Urano Kazuia, right, assigned to the Field Artillery Battalion, Amphibious Rapid Deployment Regiment, listens to a brief about an upcoming counter landing live-fire exercise as part of Exercise Balikatan 2026 at La Paz Sand Dunes,
    Laoag City, Philippines, April 26, 2026. The meeting facilitated a shared understanding between the 25th Infantry Division and JGSDF roles throughout the counter land live-fire exercise and clarified each unit’s role in the exercise. 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. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Duke Edwards)
