U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Graham Sargeant, 21st Combat Air Base Squadron structural journeyman, unpacks a small Unmanned Aircraft System during Exercise Balikatan 2026 at Basa Air Base, Philippines, May 7, 2026. By integrating sUAS operations into traditional mission frameworks, the 21st Air Expeditionary Wing pioneered new tactical capabilities that strengthened the readiness of the combined force. 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.
