FORT MAGSAYSAY, Philippines – Building from the ground up. From individual skills to full team integration, success in the modern battlespace depends on a shared, expert understanding of the environment.
U.S. Army 1st Lt. Andres Rodriguez, a Cyber and Electronic Warfare officer assigned to the 25th Infantry Division, explains the core goal of bilateral training during Exercise Salaknib 2026.
"The goal is... team integration, so that we can ensure that our Filipino partners know how to use our equipment and we can use their equipment," Rodriguez said. "So they'll be more proficient on the foundations and tactics of EW as a whole."
Exercise Salaknib is an annual rehearsal designed to enhance the combined capabilities of the U.S. and Philippine Armies, strengthening the U.S.-Philippine Alliance and reinforcing a shared commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Taylor Gray)
