U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 25th Infantry Division Artillery, and 3rd Battalion, 7th Field Artillery Regiment, work alongside Philippine Army partners to conduct elevator training with a CH-47 Chinook helicopter during Exercise Salaknib 2026 at Fort Magsaysay, Philippines, April 7, 2026. The training involved the precision sling loading of four unique assets, including an A22 cargo bag, a Filipino M101A1 howitzer, an American M119A3 howitzer, and a tandem Humvee-howitzer load. This bilateral training enhances quick infiltration and exfiltration capabilities, strengthens interoperability between U.S. and Philippine forces, and reinforces a shared commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
