Members of the U.S. Coast Guard, Philippine Coast Guard, and Philippine Navy prepare to board the Philippine Coast Guard cutter BRP Melchora Aquino (MRRV-9702) from a 35-foot Long-Range Interceptor embarked cutter boat attached to Legend-class cutter USCGC Midgett (WMSL 757) during the Maritime Cooperative Activity (MCA) in the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone, May 29, 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. Midgett is forward-deployed and assigned to Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest DESRON and U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force. U.S. 7th Fleet, the Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific.
