U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jamal Conner, a cannon crewmember assigned to 125th Intelligence Electronic Warfare Battalion, 25th Infantry Division Artillery, uses an anemometer to measure the wind speed in preparation for a counter landing live-fire exercise as part of Exercise Balikatan 2026, at La Paz Sand Dunes, Laoag City, Philippines, April 30, 2026. For the unmanned aerial system drone to fly optimally for training purposes, the wind must be less than 17 knots. 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.
