An end mill cuts through a steel plate inside a Tormach CNC milling machine at The Forge, a joint U.S. Indo-Pacific Command manufacturing asset during Exercise Balikatan 2026 at Fort Magsaysay, Philippines, April 26, 2026. This joint capability allows the 523rd Engineer Company to maintain heavy machinery used in the construction of a field landing strip. CNC machining at the facility provides a critical link for on-site repairs in remote environments. 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.
